 I have spent the last three hours trying to get my XO to work properly,
 with very little luck. The trackpad will work properly for a few minutes,
 then I will have no control.  Also, despite trying both my WEP password
 and converting it to a HEX version on the recommended conversion, I'm
 unable to connect to my home's wifi, which is available via a standard
 Netgeat 802.11g wireless router.

 I am astonished at the poor quality of this product, and the
 counterintuitive nature of the interface.  I feel sorry for the youngsters
 somewhere in the world who will have to learn on this disappointing
 machine.  I owned an Apple eMate 300 10 years ago that was more reliable,
 intuitive, and nearly as capable as this XO. I really can't describe how
 frustrated I feel right now -- and how duped.  Please let me know how I
 can get a proper working model, or provide my money back.  My kids are
 heartbroken.

 p.s.  This wiki-based documentation and support is *pathetic*. I have no
 idea what to do with the menus below.  You've created a computer for non-
 users, but only the savviest of users can possibly know how to use the Web
 to find answers.  What hypocracy. Incredible.
