Bernie, Thanks again for your talk to the support gang on Sunday. It was very informative. Some of the topics you discussed about usage differences between the teachers and children and the _very_ different views they have about keeping data made me think about a 1.5 discussion that has

Bernie. Thanks so much for this. With the 5th grade US students I work with, this customization is really important to their sense of ownership. By the way, how do you upgrade the XOs (we have XO-1s) to .84? This is a very big deal for us. Thanks. Gerald On Sat, Mar 13, 2010 at 8:11 AM, Bernie
