Squeak does not work on my netbook. If it doesn’t work on my netbook, I can’t use it. I’m going to try to install it on a computer at Interlock in the near future. We’ll see. Etoys/squeak worked on Alan’s Mac. But that’s Alan’s Mac, and not my netbook. 
’til next time, smalltalk.
Edit: I got a hold of an XO at Interlock and played for some time with Etoys. I also got it working on my netbook shortly after, but it’s faster on the XO. Haha. A revised conclusion soon to follow…

I just finished crocheting my 8th item for December (a multi-colored netbook cover/purse) and am now switching back to computing mode. (Now that all the Christmas presents are finished, and I’ve made something spunky for myself.) I played with etoys a little before Christmas with Alan. I am pretty excited about all of this. It looks like a lot of fun to explore. After spending the next few days diving in, I’ll post an update on my learnings.
