I was inspired by the goals and design approach of OLPC. I participated in the G1G1 program and received an XO-1. The machine worked well enough, but I was shocked by the poor quality of the software. Even though I had no connection to the product, except as a customer, it made me embarrassed to be a member of the computer industry. Sorry, it was too long ago for me to remember specifics. But in retrospect, it was a perfect example of MIT Media Lab arrogance, wherein the demo is all that matters.
