Yes: I take my XO with me to class and take notes in Write. I used to take my Thinkpad with me everywhere; now it never leaves my desk. I run unmodified Joyride builds on my XO, and I find the interface to be both superb and useful. I recently developed the DOSConsole activity solely on the XO itself, not because I was trying to prove any point but because it was the most convenient way. No: On my desktop I run in Xinerama with two different-sized LCDs. Together, they have about 8 times the area of an XO screen. Sugar will never make sense for that hardware without a serious redesign. On the other hand, running individual activities in windows managed by Metacity would probably work fine. | Anyhow, speaking as someone who has only very recently gotten involved | with the project, I can say that the Sugar interface was one of the | most appealing things to me.

The project was vaguely interesting until I ran Sugar in Qemu, at which point it became compelling. - --Ben -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIAq8OUJT6e6HFtqQRAgfFAJ0eOrVMly2CwnNGf83tuWUXHklakQCfcRjS yOFnnT+++KnA4/QKJNgkARg= =aEVp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
