<b>Subject:</b> Issue with activities using sounds and invite and power
adapters<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In trials in PNG I have come across an apparent issue with
build 703 / activities as of date.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you run the Measure activity and then follow with the
Record, the screen (digital camera output) is blank.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you run two activities using sound (TamtamMini and Speak
for instance), you may find that one has no sound and the XO needs rebooting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you have a lot of laptops (i.e. we had 40+ in a small
area, we were in a classroom and then in small groups outside), the invite
function is not reliable – you invite someone but no icon appears on the
activity bar of the invited XO. Rebooting both XOs helps. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The US adapters supplied with our batch of gifted XOs (much
appreciated) is however a disaster in PNG where they use Australian 3-pin type
– they have pins aligned so that each adapter covers the adjacent outlet
in a powerboard, and in any case 2-pin adapters are unavailable and 3-pin
types need to be forced as they require the 3<sup>rd</sup> pin. An 8-outlet
powerboard can only take 4 precariously arranged adapters, there s a safety
issue. This will of course be solved when we get gang chargers and/or the daisy
chain charge devices. But it still affects childen charging at home. Shipments
MUST be sent with correct adapters.<o:p></o:p></p>
