OLPC XO-1's Starring Role on Flickr Photo
Posted on January 13, 2007 by Wayan Vota in Prototypes: OLPC, Prototypes: XO, Laptops: XO-1
No matter how serious you are about One Laptop Per Child, every so often, you should check out what people are doing with Children's Machine XO-1's using Flickr search and have a good laugh.
OLPC XO: Star role central!
There you will see all manner of OLPC activities captured by loving fans. Most photos are the standard OLPC + me pose, or OLPC + kids, but others, well... I think there are some very creative stress tests going on globally.
- In Chile OLPC's are used as weights
- Mr. Potato Head likes his OLPC raw
- Some uses may exceed OLPC size limits
- Other users get the OLPC drunk
- And make it work on New Year's Eve

My question is how in the world they are getting there hands on them, i mean obviously they are not poor, nor did they buy 1 million units, so how?

Spyke01: These are BTest-1 Units, the OLPC XO's build specifically for testing to destruction. Not computers for general country implementation.
