What is a reasonable expectation for the role of the XS in Sugar on a Stick deployments in the next 6 months?
Collaboration is unreliable and thus frustrating
Its working fairly well in the wired network at the GPA lab, but no other use case seems to work reliably.
Using a CD helper takes a lot of prep time before and after class
A floppy helper would reduce it. A VM solution might also reduce it.
