I attached a keyboard and mouse from my old Mac to the XO. Now if I had a free external hard drive (unless it know HFS), I could probably completely defeat the whole form factor design. That'd be sad and wrong, right? Hahaha. I attached a keyboard and mouse from my old Mac to the XO.

This is XO ab! It came fully charged and joined an unencrypted network with no problem. We'll try something trickier in a bit. I am having trouble with the trackpad, though. It keeps going to the lower-right corner with no apparent cause. I'll check around and see if that's a known problem. Probably just needs to be calibrated. It's monstrously annoying though because the menu frame pops up when it does that, which takes awhile. Hey, Mac ab! This is XO ab!
