My perception of the above statement is that it is an indictment of
the ability of Sugar (vs. traditional computing) to be a convincing
tool for teachers (and for the students those teachers influence).
When users are "desperate to save their projects on USB keys"
(something that was not a principal intent of Sugar), there is
something out of whack.
