My XO came this afternoon (unexpected, late in the day), and I have a very similar early take. <BR/><BR/>I am enjoying it, and wowed by the look of the screen turned to zero brightness (sharp! yow!). I have some niggles, incl. that the web browser doesn't do tabs; that's something I really hope gets reconsidered in future versions of the software. Also, mine has an annoying screen flicker, which might just be annoying enough to get me to send it back for repair / replace -- I really don't like flicker. <BR/><BR/>I haven't yet figured out how to view documents from a USB stick, though I figured it might be something besides intuitive ;)<BR/><BR/>The keyboard is as expected, or even slightly better, since what I expected was truly awful. Touch typing is out, but it's not as bad for me (smallish hands) as for some people; I still get to use most of my fingers ;) <BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>timothyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655646.post-48893693630916457112007-12-19T19:02:00.000-05:002007-12-19T19:02:00.000-05:00Ryan, Jason, helixblue: Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately I didn't make it to the OLPC DC LC event. :-(<BR/><BR/>I did figure out how to change the nickname of the user - you do ith through the <A HREF="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_Control_Panel" REL="nofollow">sugar-control-panel</A> command:<BR/><BR/><I>sugar-control-panel -s nick Bob</I>Oskarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02957780889508741710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655646.post-36938844934395963482007-12-19T17:58:00.000-05:002007-12-19T17:58:00.000-05:00> How do I change the user?<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure this release is designed as a single-user laptop. One laptop per child, not One laptop for a few children. :)<BR/><BR/>> Is there a sleep mode? What happens when I shut the lid?<BR/><BR/>Yes, but it's disabled in the current build due to it's bugginess. This is a bit of a disappointment that I hope will be rectified soon.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to Jason for the Alt-Enter tip. I had wondered about it myself.helixbluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01443254601305399484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655646.post-48314919449971610522007-12-19T00:12:00.000-05:002007-12-19T00:12:00.000-05:00Just like Firefox, Alt+Enter gets you out of full-screen mode.
