[OLPC-SF] showing off your XO

[jim]

i'd be willing to participate. 
i have problems: 

1 i want to upgrade to the latest OS release 

2 i don't use most of the software because it is 
---a incomprehensible to me and the kids (e.g. sim city) 
---b unappealing (e.g. music and programming software) 
---c not useful (e.g. i forget, but there is some that 
seems not to fit our needs or interests) 

1: how to do this? 

2a: we might like it if we knew how to use it 
2b: maybe there's some way to appreciate it 
2c: like 2b, maybe there's something we could learn so's 
to appreciate how it's useful
