G1G1 XO's are on their way!

Is this it? This is it! Doug Johnson got the first G1G1 XO and yet was only moved to say:

My OLPC XO came today. Did yours?

Agh! That isa proper response if he is, in fact, the first kid (at heart) on his block to have clock stopping hot XO technology. I know when I get my XO via UPS, I'll be beyond ecstatic with geek lust.

And unlike, Doug, I'll have a frame-by-frame unboxing photo montage and video, so I can relive the moment time and again. Seeing the XO laptop box might even beat the high of seeing myself on 60 Minutes!

So Doug, about 50,000 people want to know - are you the first G1G1 XO recipient?

Update: Doug just dropped me a line to say:

Wayan, yes, as far as I know, this is a real XO. I am surprised to learn that I may be the first to get one. Had I know this, I'd have been more reverential.

Doug has also updated his site to answer a few of our burning questions around G1G1 delivery. Two key take-aways: no email from OLPC and the laptop came FedEx. Good luck everyone!

Thanks to Adam for the tip!
