Here is my list of complaints from that evaluation, which was obviously using a 600-series OS version. <ul><li>not traditional desktop metaphor</li><li>no tabbed browsing</li><li>flaky wireless</li><li>some bad machines: difficulty turning on and peeling mousepad. </li><li>flaky mouse</li><li>has a mouse instead of mouse-alternatives (?)</li><li>popup menus too slow</li><li>activity startup too slow</li><li>see address in browser bar should be easier (fixed)</li><li>hard to save to USB. Should be accessible from within an activity.</li> <li>scroll bars too small, especially for subsidiary panes (interesting issue for grab key, BTW)</li></ul>I may have missed a few, but I think that most of these are either already the focus of effort (and progress) or have been decided against by many here. The one I bolded is I think a useful one: why not have a "keep to USB" and "keep to SD" option in the keep dropdown menu in the activity toolbar?

There are lots of issues identified here. There is a serious failure-to-communicate. These are real concerns for many people and this is what they hear. It is easy to dismiss this as Leigh's problem, but it isn't his alone. Everyone of us associated with OLPC needs to do a better job at bridging this gap. Are there good sources of information that address these issues and guidelines that would ease the transition from PC to XO in situations like this? <a href="http://learnonline.wordpress.com/2008/12/01/my-experience-with-olpc-in-tuvalu/" target="_blank">http://learnonline.wordpress.com/2008/12/01/my-experience-with-olpc-in-tuvalu/</a> ..Valerie _______________________________________________ OLPC-SF mailing list <a href="mailto:OLPC-SF@lists.laptop.org">OLPC-SF@lists.laptop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-sf" target="_blank">http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-sf</a> -- Silent Thunder (默雷/धर्ममेघशब्दगर्ज/دھرممیگھشبدگر ج) is my name And Children are my nation.
