The San Diego Union Tribue reports that attendees at the International Society for Technology in Education got a close up view of the current "orange" OLPC laptop prototype yesterday and some even fawned all over it:

"The whole market, it's called the race to the bottom. The technology is getting faster and cheaper," said Dan Wolfson, San Diego Unified's educational technology manager, who has been closely following the development of the $100 laptop. He would like to test some prototypes in San Diego schools within a year.

Yet, if you look closely at the photo you'll notice a sign that does not promote confidence in the ruggedness of the OLPC.

It says "Fragile".
