<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">YMCA Computer Lab 4/4/09</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The Waltham YMCA is a community center with a room with 10 computers pretty much all different. We have been invited to present Sugar at Healthy Kids Day on April 18th.</p><br><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</p>I went today to test SoaS<br><br><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Overall Results</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Only one computer (#8) was able to run SoaS2<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Three computers ran SoaS1 = #2, #3, #4,</p>
<br><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">No computers could connect to the internet or see any other Sugar machine.<br></p><br>Here are my notes. It worries me that we are giving out SoaS2 at FOSSVT yet it seems to have a much higher failure rate. It would be good if we could figure out some of these bugs.<br>
<br>Detailed Notes:<br>
