The Happy 8600 is modeled after an [[Wikipedia:OLPC XO-1|XO-1]], an inexpensive laptop distributed as part of the [[Wikipedia:One Laptop per Child|One Laptop per Child]] project. The laptop was made available to North American consumers during the 2007 holiday season in a "Give 1 Get 1" offer. Ironically, the XO-1 keyboard is designed to resist liquids.
