I’ve got this friend visiting, and she invested in one of those $100 laptops (actually $400) for impoverished thirdworld children, getting a free sample in return.
It’s the first time I’ve seen one of these.
The OX laptop seen here has got pretty much everything I would need in a computer. Capable of web browsing, word processing, multi-media recording, and classic Doom, it’s the bare-bone functions of a laptop in a simple Fisher-Price-looking rugged container.
I would get one myself but for two problems: One, each keyboard key is about half the width of my short, stumpy fingers. Two, the keyboard has a problem with jamming.
Here’s my friend as she disassembles her One Laptop Per Child, using the extensive online wiki and my tool roll. Note that to get to the keyboard, one needs to spend a half hour taking apart the whole damn computer.
Here is my greatest invention, the beyboard, in action, flawlessly tracking the wealth of subtly different-sized screws.
And here is the fix, a thin strip of electrical tape placed as a spacer between the control key terminals.
