 The current xo machines have tiny keys on the keyboard.  I don't really
 find it usable, and end up just plugging in a usb keyboard to use the
 machine.

 It would be really great if there was an alternate "adult" model of the
 keyboard that could be swapped in.  The current xo keyboard real estate is
 only slightly smaller than the keyboard on my thinkpad x40, and I find the
 thinkpad's keyboard to be a great size (thus, I think it's doable to
 design a keyboard of that size that works w/ adult-sized fingers).
