on another list, people have been comparing the Asus eee dinky-PC to the 
XO, completely missing the point made well in the article cited by Andre:

	"But no competitor approaches the XO in innovation."

Preeecisely! the XO is not some 
pound-on-the-peg-until-it-goes-through-the-smaller-hole
dinky-PC - it's a clean-sheet of paper design which
solves a very different, but widespread, set of problems
while leveraging the parts volume created by PCs.

that it does brilliantly. I predict a Nobel Peace Prize
coming out of it.
