several of us took our XO laptops to the SCALE conferance this weekend. We got a LOT of attention (you couldn't walk down the hallway with one without people asking about them, I stepped out of a class at the afternoon break on friday and didn't make it down to the registration desk for 5 hours)
however when we attempted to demo the measure activity we just could not figure out how to make it work. we got it working three times over the weekend (among a dozen or more tries). we has laptops with the 650 build, the -rc2 build, and the signed build released in Jan (one of them started with a joyride build as of mid-week). no matter which combinations of builds we tried, we were not able to repeat a sucess. could somone explain step-by-step what is supposed to happen (and what screen we need to be on when to see the result) I have a pair of boxes which are now on the -rc2 build, so I can try and see if I can get this to work reliably. we also had problems with recent builds that while the laptops were taking measurements they would go to sleep, breaking the connection and terminating the joint activity, the one sucess we had with -rc2 machines required that the person holding each laptop keep masaging the mouse pad to keep the machine awake. we looked in the application bar for the activity to show up as the result of an invite, useually it wouldn't show up at all, and sometimes when it showed up we still weren't able to get the two machines to work togeather. when it works it's a great demo, but it's extremely frustrating thing to try and get it to work and fail.
