Subject: [Csnd] Where to buy OLPC X1?

Hi! Do you know is there possible now to buy OLPC laptop? It's intresting to look on it and try Csound on it. Thanks

To expand on this, the OLPC program does not do individual orders. If
you want an XO-1, you will need to acquire it from eBay or another
second-hand source, or be prepared to buy quite a few of them. (I
don't know the minimum order size, but I would not be surprised if it
is over 1000 units minimum.)

To get an XO-1.5 or -1.75, you'll have to know somebody. I don't know
who I could recommend you to purely on the basis of scoring a newer
XO, though. If you can show that you intend to make software for OLPC
or some related project, you can get one as part of the Contributors
Program: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Contributors

I haven't gotten CSound on my XO, although that's largely because I
still have Sugar on my boot partition and have been hacking on drivers
instead of userspace stuff.

Good luck,
~ C.
