[Trac #1309] kids learning to read like labels, but there are few

[Ted Selker]

YEP,  i tried to get rid of the book and irq setting the lpt1 grids of 
buttons.... i can't find our " best ideas" here is an early crappy image 
or two,,,,

ea




here is how we deployed it (still has problems


also i came up with an idea called wrapping paper instructions which never 
got deployed: no text
it showed how to open the laptop, put in the battery,use  the "ultrabay, 
remove the disk, open the keyboard to get to stuff, turn on the computer , 
plug in the computer, and use the notebook latches.

The virtual laptop sounds like a program that came with my old 90 mhz 
Thinkpad -- I think Ted Selker worked on it. It had a photorealistic 
virtual view of the laptop that you could turn around in different 
directions to see the various parts labeled, and it was integrated with 
documentation and status displays and control panels related to all the 
gadgets and interface plugs. For example, you could bring up the volume 
control panel by clicking on the speaker, and stuff like that!

Well, Albert still got a point here. How about having a virtual 
laptop? Something with a lot of labels and explanations that you can 
take apart (and reassemble with just a button click)?

 Heh.  Do you know how many languages are used in Pakistan, alone?
 Labeling the hardware is insane.

 Go to ethnologue.org. http://www.ethnologue.org/show_country.asp?

 Albert, please apply brain, before inserting foot....
