They have been working hard to keep power consumption low, and it seems possible/likely that the solar panel could provide all the power needed. My present setup is just too power-hungry* to keep on 24/7, and I'd like to keep a low-power machine up and running 24/7. DSL does that, and so does Linux. * 21" CRT (mother of all curb finds), maybe 250W, and an emachines T6532 AMD 64 tower. I went to their open house this past summer, and seeing it by eyeball instead of digital image brought home dramatically that XOs are tiny! Said to myself, of *course!* Dummy! Think notebook or PDA... Took me a while to learn what the "XO" is. It's the stylized circle-above-an-X logo; rotate it smiley style, and it looks like "XO". The logo is a stylized child. Interesting tidbit: There are something like 24 colors used for the X and for the O, and they are trying to ship so that every machine in a small/medium batch has a different color combo; each kid will have his/her own.
