You are right about it not running on a Power PC (just had to try... that is how we found out that eToys to go does work on it). The Power PC didn't even recognize it. Here are a few notes from the exploring I did: *Persistent storage worked fine! *Record worked fine for voice recordings. Would have liked a shorter time as an option. I assume there are no photos or videos possible at this time? *Memorize seems to be working and is persistent over several removals and restarts with no problems. *Difficult to get the "frame" to appear. Takes repeated swipes into the upper RH corner to get it to work. </pre> </blockquote> Try adjusting the bottom slider in "frame" on My settings fully left. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit/sck/Introduction_to_Sugar_Interface">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit/sck/Introduction_to_Sugar_Interface</a> <blockquote cite="mid:SNT112-W3820EDC1BE6626F79D1F1CCBF0@phx.gbl" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> *Clock Activity flashed an image for a fraction of a second, but could not get it to work. *Totally unable to connect to the internet. I see the 3 ad hoc networks but my router doesn't show up at all. No problem connecting under the Mac os or on my iPod so it has to be a problem with SoaS. Would an ethernet cable to my modem/router solve this? I also removed my password so connection would be easier. I trust my neighbors? </pre> </blockquote> It should work with a wired cat5 connection. I have not been able to get Wireless on a MAC to go either.
