Bill, I was sort of waiting to see if others are getting an echo. I hear none here.
Btw, I had the most wonderful experience a week ago when my 7.5 year old grandson, Tyler or T, asked me to show him J and all I could think to do was show him the screencast regarding a triangle robot. He looked a little impatient, especially when the scrast got off-subject to the content sensitive help, but he stayed at my shoulder while it played. Later after he got me to set up his own user account on our computer (T wanted one for his mother's computer so he could be independent, and the was the most important "lesson" he learned from our screencast experience, because I showed it from a separate user account), T asked me to fire up J and I obliged. After we used a thumb drive to port J from my computer to his new account on his mother's computer, he asked me to launch J and he immediately created his own robot without my help, by only changing the number of triangles from 6 to 1 (and not changing the random vertices). <heartbeat on>Yes!<heartbeat off> Then on Easter while T was dueling his other granddad with his lightsaber, his mom asked me to familiarize her with J so that she could keep up with him and after too long I stumbled on the "An introduction to J" Lab with her. She really thinks that will be a perfect playground for T, who later said he was disappointed that I had not shown him directly. I explained that we live apart and it would be better for him to learn about J with his mother. I have been thinking about doing a screencast named "J Programming Language _ an introduction" to demo the first couple of lessons of the "An introduction to J" Lab.
