I love this idea, especially since I'd like ideas for taking computers
to my kids' classrooms (and I've met other parents with the same
goals.) I'll check into Bob Johnstone's guide and the Squeak title as
well. (We're going to talk about Squeak at our next XO-Austin user
group meeting, neat-o, serendipitous river of info.)

I think the kids/families/teachers audience could benefit from this
dimension. I'll think about how it could "snap" in to the FM setup -
is it another book, is it a chapter that we include and remix to make
another book, that sort of question.
Thanks,
Anne
