G1G1 Pre-installed Activities Request for Help Testing

[rihoward1 at gmail.com]

Colors!  is far superior to Paint.  Colors! is a wonderful activity.   
A lot of fun  and can be used for learning how to paint.
The replay mechanism is a great learning tool. Using Colors!  in  
shared mode is a great example of the potential of collaboration for  
aiding creativity.
