"(5) The computer-to-computer sharing function was not reliable enough
for the teacher to be able to build on its functionality—for instance,
by having students read and edit each other’s work—presumably because
there were too many conflicting signals. Where possible, it would be
advisable to set up a school server to act as a switchboard for all the
XOs in the school."

Does anyone have a clue if this was 1) an hardware/wireless issue 2) a
telepathy issue 3) a Write/other application issue, 4) .. something
else?

It would be a bit annoying if one of the fancy features of the XO was
only usable in the lab, and not in practice :)
