XO laptop deliveries start…and so does the chaos
People are starting to report that they’re receiving their XO laptops (mostly in Illinois, near the distribution centre).
What’s disturbing is the reports indicate no signature has been required for the deliveries, and often no doorbells are rung. I wonder whether that’s FedEx being irresponsible or OLPC not being careful enough about the handling requirements. I hope the Canadian distributor requires a signature, because I’d hate for the laptop to get yoinked by a passerby. Maybe I’ll “luck out” and need to pay duty on it.
There is already one report of an XO laptop being stolen in transit and another of someone being charged by PayPal for the order but OLPC not having any record of the order.
