Not true at all - eToys are in *BEST* shape of their live!

Same eToys that run on OLPC will run on Linux, Mac, Windows: Compare to the 
Squeakland version, this new version is cleaner, have very good online help 
(called Guides, on the top left). Navigation is much easier I think.

Right now, you have to download VM and Image separately:

Image from :

	(equivalent but much nicer then Squekland version, and will replace it 
compatibly in the near future I believe)
	
VM from:

	http://www.squeakvm.org/index.html
	(need to follow to your OS section)

 Give it a try, if you used the squeakland eToys version I believe you will 
find it a noce continuation and will be surprised,
