Bug
Posted to Technology category
The OLPC's name is 'Bug', because it has those little antennae that stick up, and it is small. Also, I've started writing a story about the Bugs on it.
I'm having a lttle trouble getting it to stay connected to my wireless network after a suspend/resume cycle, (it loses the DNS settings) but it is turning out to be pretty handy for playing with while laid up sick in bed. It's light, and stays cool, and has a long battery life (differing in all three ways from my big laptop-that-holds-my-life).
I make a few more typos than usual on the little keyboard, but when I am composing text, speed isn't that big of a deal. It's sad, but a paper notepad wouldn't work for me any more. I need a keyboard to 'write'.
