yes.  we keep upgrading the OS every six months.  some problems get resolved.

Mouse and battery problems are the most irritating ones.  As a result
we are keeping the machines mostly in the school.  we are thinking to
make arrangements to connect the machines to power in the school as
long as they are working.  We will also buy them external mouse so
take care of the mouse issue.  This way we can live as long as we can,
but it is desirable to have the new 1.5 as soon as possible.
