I hope to get a full report on the music creation stuff — I’ve played with the sound effects a couple of times, but haven’t really gotten to a place where I feel comfortable in those programs. As for reading, though, I’m sold – I’m reading myself to sleep at night with my trusty XO. Didn’t take long for that to become a habit.
Hope to meet up with you via the XO soon!

My reading seems more focused and more economical. And I love the first book I downloaded, THree Cups of Tea.
I will write more.

Not yet, I don’t think, but I am too soon into it to know for sure.
I know there are many new applications and programs being built for it in the Open Source/Linux community and I stumbled on some possible applications for creating comics and stop-motion, but I think they are still in development.

This while Open Source world is new to me and something I will write about some other day. Interesting and a little disjointed at first. It makes me realize how developed my computer sensibilities are in the Bill Gates world view of the desktop.

I do wonder, though, how kid-friendly this XO really is and how teachers in the developing world will be able to use it for literacy. It takes a bit of time to figure out the intuitive nature of the structure of the XO — at least it has for me in my limited time on it.

And I am hoping for a Kindle report, Bonnie. How is it going?

Kevin

I see the whole picture and I’m glad to be walking through your early experiences with your new green machine. Mine is still in the box. It will have to wait. I’m on new tech overload. I have my Kindle to burn with it and that’s a PC as well. Can you create a DS with it?
Keep playing….
Bonnie
