OLPC XO Laptop: The Wife Acceptance Factor
I was fiddling with the XO this morning, and my wife goes:
"so basically, that thing is just a web browser?"
"No, it's a full fledged computer, but with limited capacity"
"So can you load the Elmo game on it?"
"Uhm, no"
"Then Erik (age 2) is not going to like it. If its just a web browser you should have gotten [the ASUS Eee PC]. It looks better - I don't like having that green thing sitting in the kitchen all the time."
WAF: Low

ROFL
I didn't realize the killer app had become the Elmo game :)

Yeah, I was gonna use the "it doesn't run on a Mac, either" defense, but then I looked at the box, and it does...
UPDATE: The OLPC XO is out of the kitchen - it was replaced by a fruit basket...
