Selling My XO OLPC One Laptop Per Child Notebook
By Mike Maddaloni on Tuesday, April 14, 2009 at 06:00 AM with 0 comments
In my continuous effort to declutter my life of the myriad of spare electronics laying around, not to mention earn a few dollars, I have decided to put some of these items on sale on eBay. The first is my XO OLPC One Laptop Per Child Notebook.
This barely used machine was bought more for good intentions and curiosity of the hardware rather than my intent for using it as a day-to-day computer. It is designed for kids in rural areas, thus the rugged case and small keyboard. I would occasionally use it to surf the Web, but now that I have my Nokia E70 with WiFi I use that as there is no boot time required.
Here’s your chance to get your hands on an XO laptop if you are curious yourself – bidding starts at US$.01!
