However, it did not work well as each operating system had its own way of making sounds on ttam he computer. I remember it being very poor quality on the Mac. If they could overcome this problem, it would be wonderful to include Tam Tam. I hope that will someday be possible.</div><div><br></div><div>Caryl </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> Date: Sun, 24 Mar 2013 16:33:56 +0000<br>> From: pbrobinson@gmail.com<br>> To: soas@lists.sugarlabs.org<br>> CC: sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org<br>> Subject: Re: [SoaS] Plans for SoaS v9<br>> <br>> On Sun, Mar 24, 2013 at 4:23 PM, Rodolfo D.
