It Arrived…It Arrived…It Arrived

by Joe on December 19, 2007

Hey! Glad to see you back! Don't forget to show some love and comment.

 It Arrived...It Arrived...It ArrivedThe XO arrived this afternoon via FedEx. So far I am kind of impressed. Its a dandy little machine and kind of reminds me of a V-Tech mini computer that does more than play Winnie the Pooh cards. Its a little slow on the Internet, but pretty decent given the specs. Considering it costs a tenth of the cost of my MacBook Pro, its pretty darn great!

Being a Mac/Windows user the operating system interface isn’t automatically intuitive to me, but I am learning.   One thing I learned very quickly, the buttons at the top of the keyboard help you navigate quite a bit.

More information to come…  I am being told its time for dinner already!

Mine came today, although I didn’t know it was coming. I was shocked at the size of the box. Have had some difficulties connecting to my WPA network and I am still working on that. Will have to get together and try the mesh network.

Yea. At home I got it connected via an encrypted WEP without a problem. At school we have WPA and I haven’t had time to fiddle with the patch to make it work until the full update comes out. I know of another one in Modesto, so perhaps the three of us can get together and make our own mesh network. :-)

Didn’t know there was a wiki for these. Still havent gotten it to work yet though. Guess my Linux skills are not so good.
