<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">This is great stuff! I hope you are working up a very detailed, "Grannie's Guide-No Fail" style set of teachers' instructions so that other (non-techie) teachers who don't have you there to help can replicate the things you are doing with the students.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">It looks like we finally may have someone who can make it work. Wouldn't it be great if it were ready to go by the CUE Conference in March 2010?</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">They have asked me to apply to do another 1 hour session at CUE 2010. I have to apply by early September. It is really hard to come up with something flexible and generic enough to adjust to match the rapidly changing and developing things going on with OLPC and SugarLabs. I am open to suggestions.</p>

Does it have a good loop to attach to a keychain or lanyard? If so, count me in for 10.</p><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></font></div></body>
