Hi Gang, Yes indeed, that's the date for the next meeting, and there is no speaker scheduled (yet) for this meeting. Any volunteers? Failing that, I doubt folks would be interested in seeing a real XO laptop. ;-) I could bring one if people are interested. That would give me incentive to learn how to use most of the programs. However, there isn't any VGA output, so I don't know how to get the image on the screen where an audience could see it. VNC perhaps? I'm not sure. I'll play with it over the weekend. For external connections, the machine has USB ports, wireless (WEP only), microphone and speaker jacks. Later, Andy - -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group (http://www.wlug.org) Chelmsford Linux Meetup Group (http://linux.meetup.com/393) Amateur Radio: KB1OIQ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHh/pKHl0iXDssISsRApbdAJwN+jNtjRnq+fbTUYo0v8G8k0jHTACfS1JC mvveJr9PcqQtIn8TKrK7vfI= =qGnh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
How about setting it up so one of the cameras can capture it and put it up on the screen? Walt Andy Stewart wrote:

Silence gives consent, but I learned soon after puberty that enthusistic acceptence gives a better time for all. So, I would like to break the silence on this to say: yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes. -- James Joyce, Ulysses I would consider it worthwhile to go to WPI Thusday just to see an OLPC computer. If somebody knows something about the software on it, or the politics behind it, or the engineering inside it, that would be a bonus, but it's worth the (short) trip just to watch it boot. -- Keith
