Couldn't wait for the weekend. Opportunity to promote the new Trisquel-Sugar  
release tomorrow. It looks very good. Impressive work. It's good to try to  
twin track the software in the community. Slaine or Taranis for parents  
learning about computers and software freedom and Sugar for the kids. It's  
not always culturally appropriate to merely focus on children through OLPC  
and expect that this will cause parents to want or to be better able to  
learn. For some in more traditional cultures, this is just another form of  
colonisation and creates another generation of children stolen from their  
parents and grandparents. It's great that you can introduce the parents and  
grandparents to something straightforward like the GNOME DE and the kids to  
Sugar. Of course, who knows what GNOME 3.0 will mean for all of this. Anyway,  
good work!

Sweet, if I only have a thumb drive. Well, I do actually, but it i3 
installed, and locked, and I have not figured out any way to format it 
without going into Windows. And I am not sure how to do it then. I 
believe the guy who gave it to me said that it is looking for an older 
version of U3, and you can't install U3 without the drive..
