Yes Caryl. We are still planning on going. I haven't registered though. Hope it's not too late. :-( <br>Will let you know when our plans solidify...which reminds me...I have to get going on planning for that one!!<br>
<br>Another question for Mike and others, is there an easier way to get the pictures taken from GNOME to Sugar? Sorry I am very mildly illiterate when it comes to software related question. I'm asking because one of our Squeakland members is working on a water purification unit for Haiti and thinking of integrating the use of microscope to magnify things in the water. But how to easily paste pictures that the children took to EToys? <br>
<br>Thank you,<br>Cherry <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 1:33 PM, Caryl Bigenho <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cbigenho@hotmail.com">cbigenho@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

Hi...<div><br></div><div>When you all figure out the best way to get a microscope running on the XO and the best one to get for the best possible price, be sure to let me know. I want to get one to have in the OLPC booth at SCaLE 9X.</div>

<blockquote style="padding-left: 1ex;">Hi all,<br>
<br>
I ordered this Digimicro 1.3mp USB microscope and it arrived from<br>
China today. I was able to pretty easily get it running on an XO-1.5<br>
in Gnome. Photos and details here:<br>
