Here I am, exploring the cutest little computer on the planet.
Mine arrived well before Christmas. I've been watching the online docs,[1] wikis and forums[2] develop while I traveled with the XO from Virginia to New York City, Connecticut, Rhode Island, back to Virginia and as far south and west as Knoxville, Nashville and Memphis... making extensive use of T-Mobile at Starbucks.
First major discovery: An early version of the keyboard-shortcuts wiki page was wrong: alt-tab, not ctrl-tab, cycles among running programs (activities, in OX speak)
Related SAD discovery, two weeks later: My alt-key sticks at times, creating much randomness. See my symptoms and the official bug track discussion and RMA verdict.
Meanwhile, if you want to know who I am, Robby is the "inner child" of Bob, whose home page and blogs are a different shade of green, here:
Home includes an authentic Robby picture that documents the beginning of my interest in news reporting: http://www.stepno.com/nanarobnews48-250x233.jpg
XObservation: Was someone from MIT making an inside joke when they called xo programs "activities," including the UNIX terminal... which makes working directly in unix the "terminal activity"? It's actually the area where I'm learning the most from the XO, exploring its Linux understory to copy files and fix small problems like the system date.
