 When I was demonstrating the test
 XO in its default
 configuration, several
 fully-sighted adults told me that
 the text was too small for them to
 read.  Even if children's eyes are
 better, this will make it difficult
 for teachers to help.  I believe
 that part of the problem lies in
 the fact that many Sugar developers
 run it under emulation, on a PC
 with a screen size somewhat larger
 than that of the XO, and thus they
 do not realise how small the text
 is on the actual XO.  Perhaps the
 emulation can be improved so as to
 mimic the size more accurately.
 Also, would it be possible to find
 out what is the ideal point size
 for children?  In most educational
 material I'm familiar with, the
 text is larger than normal.
