Computer dream sees light of day

| Children in the Northern Territory have become the first
| Australian recipients of the XO computer, writes Anthony Caruana.

|
| The processor, a 433Mhz AMD LX700, can selectively power itself
| down when not in use. It can even do this between keystrokes,
| meaning the XO can run on just two watts of energy.

| Rwanda has now ordered more than 100,000 XO laptops and plans
| to roll them out to as many schools as possible, with part of
| the funding coming from the sale of mobile phone licences.
| Finally, OLPC has found an African country which appears to be
| committed to going beyond a pilot and making the laptops an
| integral part of its education system
