I think the latest model has a 1GB flashcard. and the OS will take about 100MB. Do you say that they build a children targetted GUI for Csound? I really think Pd would be the better choice, (you also can teach 3d drawing with GEM). anyway, a dedicated OX Pd would be nice to have. marius.

Actually, Pd works out of the box on OX, I tried it last summer :) So folks can always download it. cheers M On Tue, Sep 25, 2007 at 11:40:44AM -0400, marius schebella wrote: I think the latest model has a 1GB flashcard. and the OS will take about 100MB. Do you say that they build a children

Barry Vercoe, the creator of Csound, works at the MIT Media Lab, so I think that played a big part of why Csound was chosen. .hc On Sep 25, 2007, at 4:33 PM, Kyle Klipowicz wrote: Interesting that they chose Csound. I thought they may have chosen this:

OLP*C* - for a child there is no doubt, Pd is vastly easier to understand and use than Csound. On Mon, 24 Sep 2007 11:53:38 -0400 marius schebella [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hey, just read that olpc (XO) will include csound. what about a light version of pd? marius.

Well, they only have 512M of 'disk' (actually flash) so they're only doing each thing one particular way... so Pd won't be part of it, since csound is the official music package. There's a whole GUI superstructure they're defining from scratch, targetted specifically for school-age children.
