[olpc-help] community-support Digest, Vol 4, Issue 14

[Steve Kay]

I too just received my XO and find that browsing by URL does not work
well or is not intuitive how to do so. Entering URL in the browse line
results in nothing about 99% of the time. Sometimes I can do a search
and follow the link to a site. The biggest issue appears to be related
to the lack of speed and timing out. I will not be turning the unit
over to a child if it will only be a source of frustration. The access
point is working wonderful for the 1 XP MCE, 1 VISTA, 1 XP, and 1
XPPro machines sharing the access.
