Hello mate, another thing i;ve been wondering, how portable are the files the OLPC creates, so for instance ,if you create a Doc on the OLPC, can you open it in word? <br><br>Think this cross platform compatibilty is pretty important to teachers and folks generally...<br>
<br>just a thought, see yer wednesday?<br><br>ta <br><br>Dom<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/7/13 Peter Robinson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pbrobinson@gmail.com">pbrobinson@gmail.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Hi Amir,<br>
<br>
Agreed on keeping it basic. There will also need to be the basics on<br>
the OS like connecting it to wifi, and also sharing activities.<br>
<br>
The other app that might be worth considering is the physics app.<br>
