Is there any battery in it that might leak in the foreseeable future?

Would be a shame if it breaks due to normal stuff.

@jwildeboer I loved concepts (like ad hoc wifi) and idea, I hope some of those ideas lives on.

@jwildeboer it can't be 15 years old, I remember OLPCs like it was yesterday :).

@RezzaBuh @jwildeboer I remember it as just a blink of the eye ago as well. I never actually got my hands on the hardware, but I recall doing QA on some of the software components via Fedora.

@jwildeboer I found my original EEE PC 701 recently and it still works too :).

@jwildeboer I had one, left it in the office when Covid broke out and when I came back 1.5 year later, it was gone. 😢

@jwildeboer I was going to give it to the museum of computers at the local uni, Peter Robinson used to have a big pile of them, so I might ask him if he could give me one for the museum.

And thanks to @random_musings I have a few more 1.0 and 1.5 (or are they 1.75?) to work with for #girlsday in the #redhat office in #Munich. #LifeAtRedHat.

@jwildeboer No 1.75s are in that batch, since I only have one of those, and couldn't part with it. 😊

The 1.5 HS definitely has a way better keyboard. Also — blue.
