The early orders of the XO laptop arrived quickly. My wife and daughter have been enjoying them for three months now. But the late orders got pretty much stuck - they were overwhelmed with the numbers. We got a couple of apologetic e-mails offering to send us back the money if we are sick of waiting, but we decided to be patient. Finally, this morning, my son's XO arrived. And so did Anton's. Now I am mad at myself for not getting one for me as well...
