> Has anyone out there in Sugarland been able to run Open Office on an XO?  I have someone doing a project that sounds like he may need a spreadsheet program and a presentation program for.

I used to think that the lack of a spreadsheet was a serious deficiency but now think that Google Docs is a better solution, assuming web connectivity. Bill Kerr has put up some convincing arguments why the future of education is about thin clients with the smarts at the server end.
