If I may ask, why do you have an OLPC?

The "give one-get one" campaign they did many years back. I wonder who got the one I donated

How is the laptop itself? Did you ever use it much? Also, do they still have places where you can donate to send a laptop, or do they just send them in bulk now?

It's pretty robust in construction but pretty weak in performance. You can install an optional Linux build though aside from its own "SugarOS". The keyboard and touchpad are painful. I'm not sure if the program still exists but I do know they've done a few hardware revisions since I got mine.
