[OLPC-SF] OLPC-SF Digest, Vol 135, Issue 2

[Nancie Severs]

Hey Mitch,

That’s great! We are always glad to know what worked. It helps us advise
others with similar issues. Please do let us know how your XO might be used
now that it’s working. It’s curious to see the utility in this world of
smartphones and tablets with 10 hour batteries. In 2008, who could have
imagined this. That said, my idevices still do not have sunlight readable
screens  (thank you MLJ).

The longevity & repairability of the original XO continue to impress as
they withstand the test of time, especially in rugged environments. We who
have them, do love them!

Glad I could help!
Nancie:)
