<div>Caryl, </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Glad to hear that library is ready to get started. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Valley is a bit drive from Orange County (OC), however, it is less drive than going to Santa Barbara.</div>
<div><br>I'll be in OC upto this August and will be glad to volunteer any help you may need.</div>

><br>><br>> XO-1.5s for Developers to use: Do we have any Python programmers on<br>> the list who might be interested in helping develop Sugar Activities<br>> for the XO and for use on other computers (such as part of Sugar On A<br>
