Hi, I'm Bill Coderre. I was at the MIT Media Lab around 1988. Now I work at Apple. When I heard about OLPC, I felt the call to help. I have G1G1 from 2007. The thing I love the most is the pictures of kids using them! The pictures from Tibet just filled me with joy! I am most intrigued by EToys.

My biggest gripe with the OLPC is the keyboard. Once in a while, I'll force myself to use it for 15-20 minutes. Maybe if I do this a few more times I'll be able to live with it. (Yes, I know I can plug in any USB keyboard.) I used to have a LOT of trouble with the trackpad, but I think it got better. Thanks!

Also I can't wait for the software to reach a level that I thought it would have been when I first bought it. But I understand the OLPC strategy of spending all their software efforts working on support for the deployment countries. That makes perfect sense to me.

At this time (09/2008) I have figured out how to download the latest 8.2 builds and I intend to figure out how to provide feedback/bug reports.
