<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=508371609-13052007>UNESCO Bangkok have
produced a nice CD of eLearning resources for schools. It is in the
form of 250MB of Flash, Java, Authorware, Quick-time and PowerPoint based
files bundled together within an html framework.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=508371609-13052007>I thought this would
be a good way to put our single B2 (build 406) through it's paces. It took me
quite a while to figure out how to access a USB drive - I do
hope that it will roll out with hot plug and play.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=508371609-13052007>Anyway,
the UNESCO "CD" home pages, etc,play fine but the eLearning
objects don't - has anyone tried this? I assume that the Flash, Java
etc need to be installed. For example, if I try an object that I know to be an
swf file, </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=508371609-13052007>Reader opens but stays blank. If I try a learning
object that I know to be a PowerPoint slide show, nothing happens but I can see
it appear in the left part of the frame in the same way as downloads (which
I also do not know how to progress further). </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

this before it will save us a lot of time! Seems quite a standard sort of

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=508371609-13052007>- We have a wireless
subscriber gateway in our office, I use to connect the B2 to it. Now it doesn't
appear on the network neighborhood screen anymore - but I can see other access
points and connect to them. The gateway is working fine. Our hotspot just
doesn't appear anymore on the XO. Maybe it's the hotespot that is rejecting the
XO. ??</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
