Ok, I have to ask, this relates to F/OSS....how?

I know, I know, pot-kettle-black.

Sick, twisted, demented... it's like using real kitty poo in a kitty litter cake. http://www.kidskuisine.com/?page_id=8 (warning: gross! it's realistic-looking)

Eheh, and the site is called "Good Computing" - wonderful! ;)

@tuxchick: Brilliant! Too bad you didn't post that two weeks earlier when I was working on a surprise present for a friend of mine...

That is truly a memorable cake. Thank you. Thank you.

There are a few kids in the area that would freak out to get such a birthday cake. And they have cats.

I'm still asking myself, why?

What's the point of putting XP on something that it, and the laptop were not designed for?

I'm sure that with a lot of training an elephant can make a really good PB&J sandwich, but why?

Because we all know that it's not a usable computer unless it's running Windows. After all, Microsoft says so and they only want what is best for us....

Scott: because you can. :-)

Maybe it's time for a Slashdot-style "review" of the XO Laptop. You know, take it fresh from the box, and try to hit it with various Windows viruses, trojans, and PowerPoint gunk.

Watch the XO fail to execute every one of them :( Pretty dismal, wouldn't you say?
