I've tried it a few times myself to no success. Better yet, can you share your trick with the OLPC News XO Laptop Wireless Forum: http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?board=18.0 I’d love to know how you connected through a mesh network.

My kid is getting one for christmas, and I can't wait to play with it! I'd love to hear more about the software it comes with and how easy it is to use (other than the size issues). Cool!

You'll have to bring it to the next standard translation; I know it wouldn't make a lot of sense to type much on it, but it would be hip to have one of the pages originate from an OLPC :) Congrats on getting it, John.

I used the mesh network from somewhere in the neighborhood, since I do not have wifi. I believe from what I have read so far that you can login into password protected networks as long as you have the password. The only part I did not do on the OLPC was resize the photo and then put it on my server, along with then updating the post with the photo and the update message about the photo at the bottom of post. @Russell it is a really cool thing. I have also seen the Eee PC and touch it when I went to a DC Blogger meet up that also had an OLPC meet up at RFD back in October. The Eee PC has a little bit bigger keyboard that I think would make it more useful. I think this is going to be really nice and useful for going to the coffee shop and reading blogs, feeds, checking e-mail, maybe even Twittering for those of us without iPhones. I don't see it as that easy to write blog posts on, since the typing is a lot slower for me at least right now. This whole reply was done on the OLPC. @Martin I did write and publish this article from the OLPC. I used the mesh network from somewhere in the neighborhood, since I do not have wifi.

I don't think I would like to use it everyday. Same goes for the Eee PC. It certainly looks slick and playful at the same time. I don’t think I would like to use it everyday.

Via the mesh network, you still can't connect to locked (password protected) networks, can you? So, did you write and publish this blog post from the laptop itself?
