Great find! Just tried it on an XO-1.5 - works fine:

* downloaded TaalPulseImage-1.1.zip using Browse activity
* resume zip from Journal, it opens in Etoys, choose "Extract all to...", choose /home/olpc (*)
* run Terminal
* type "squeak" (**)
* TallPulse window opens
* Squeak complains about a missing source file - click cancel at the bottom
* click triangle to play
* to quit, press ctrl-c in Terminal

(*) this step won't work on an XO-1 with Rainbow, you would have to unzip by other means

(**) this works because squeak.image was extracted to the same directory, otherwise you would have to type 

	squeak /path/to/squeak.image
