Finally! The XO has made me one of the "cool" people! ;-)

However, the down side was having to tell visitors "No, you can't buy one
any more.  Only a few of us can be cool people.  You're not going to be cool
until OLPC America gets off the ground, or they offer the G1G1 program a
second time.  But there's an emulator that will allow you to be faux cool."
;-)

With any luck, next year people will be able to see it and then order one or
more for themselves, their kids, their school, or whomever.
