It's a very nice machine. Quite a bit smaller than I had imagined. 
Keyboard only good for two finger typing :-) For my 5 year old daughter 
it is a nice size . I loaded some pdf on it to read in bed and that was 
very nice :-)

Further investigation indicate a problem in the Journal. Each new 
attempt to load a project makes a new entry in the hierarchy of the 
journal linux directory with a other project I have stored. All attempts 
to load any Etoy project make a new entries with that other project. I'm 
a bit confused as most of the Sugar and Journal stuff is new to me. 
While the Journal is quite compelling in concept it leaves a few things 
to be desired. One is that associations to  activities is  quite hard 
to  change or make. That leaves the option to dig trough the obscure 
file hierarchy...

Anyway, I tried to update to joyride 1526 yesterday and it complained 
about some checksums or other issues and refused to upgrade, so it is 
something wrong with the whole system :-(

I have to figure that out first, and maybe the Etoy error goes away :-)
