[OLPC-AU] Test request: Scratch and XO freezing

[Sridhar Dhanapalan]

Thanks Tony. I just discovered that the version of Scratch at
activities.sugarlabs.org is old. Scratch 16 is available at
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities

If someone has an XO-1.5, I'd love to see how you go with this as well.

Thanks,
Sridhar
