Your XO laptop is about to land

The OLPC is shipping its XO laptops and some folks are already getting theirs.

Earlier today, John Walicki, IBM's open client architect and Linux client deployment manager, noted to me in passing that his XO landed the other day. He didn't open yet though since he reckons he'll play with it for a while and had work to do. Walicki also said that the XO is for his kid, but he'll spend a lot of time with it (I have the same plan).

Then this Twitter landed:

XO laptops are already being shipped and will be received on a first come first served basis. Expect yours to come very soon.

My status: Waiting anxiously.
