Of course he created that programming language I think, so I'm guessing it wasn't too difficult for him to pull that off! It was effective as an interactive presentation environment.

Right now, if you were doing a presentation with the XO, you could use Squeak, which gives you some very unique capabilities for multimedia scripting within the presentation (if you can grok the process), but you'd probably need to bounce to the regular web browser to use the web (Squeak's built web browser isn't very up to date, I don't think). Or you could just do it through the web or PDF. Dean,

I was under the impression, it's wireless capabilities required at least 2 but maybe I'm off on that one....I was trying to convince our IT guys to buy one.

A great way to teach a message about giving back as well. I am thinking of doing exactlt the same thing in our house. 1 for my son and 1 for daddy.
