Hi Carolyn,<div><br></div><div>Budget? What's that"? No, I am a retired educator who has been doing support-gang stuff for about a year and-a-half now.</div><div>I am the only one in the Southern California area and have to shell out a $$$ for anything I need to support OLPC and SugarLabs. I guess it is tax deductible so that is some consolation.</div><div><br></div><div>I don't have a multi-port, just an old Powerbook that I repaired and gave to my husband and a refurbished MacBook. I also have 5 working XOs, but right now 2 of them are on loan to someone who is trying to get either XOs or Sugar, running on different computers, for after school programs at several middle schools in South-Central LA.</div><div><br></div><div>I did buy a live CD of Sugar to take to SCaLE in Feb. for the OLPC booth. Before I even had a chance to try it...someone took it! There were a lot of other booths giving away stuff so I guess they just thought it was free for the taking.</div><div><br></div><div>I don't mind trying the DIY, I just thought that the labeled sticks would be more effective. Either way I would really need to know how to get it going on the MacBook. Maybe I'll just take the XOs and tell people the other is coming. I really wanted to help you get the word out, but I guess the left coast isn't that much of a focus for SugarLabs.</div><div><br></div><div>If this sounds like a sob-story, it is. I am really disappointed. Sorry.</div><div><br></div><div>Caryl</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>> <br>> Message: 3<br>> Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2009 09:19:49 -0400<br>> From: Caroline Meeks <solutiongrove@gmail.com><br>> Subject: Re: [IAEP] IAEP Digest, Vol 13, Issue 33<br>> To: Caryl Bigenho <cbigenho@hotmail.com><br>> Cc: IAEP SugarLabs <iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org><br>> Message-ID:<br>> <b74fba2b0904120619y19b2b92cp6edafa65ee75ad17@mail.gmail.com><br>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"<br>> <br>> Hi Caryl,<br>> <br>> I want you to know Dave and I are working on the Mac install.

You could probably get a new order delivered in time.<br>> <br>> Do you have a multiport so you can batch burn then?
