I have just gone to the page
and donwloaded Etoys-To-Go.
It is fantastic!
I saved it to a pendrive (USB flash memory).
It took 77.1 MB for the program plus 1 MB for the Etoys folder where I kept two proyects.
I am using a1 GB pendrive, one of the smallest ones, there is plenty of room available.
Etoys-To-Go runs directly from the pendrive, no need to install.
I put the pendrive in a computer.
Using Etoys-To-Go from the pendrive, I downloaded two projects I have stored at "My Squeakland" and saved them to the Etoys folder in the pendrive.
Took the pendrive to another computer.
I opened both projects without any problem.
I modified one of the projects and saved it again to the pendrive.
I put the pendrive in the first computer again, opened the modified project and ...
there it was exactly as modified in the second machine.
I see three logos next to Etoys-To-Go.
Today I used it in two machines with MacOSX but I also see the Linux and WIndows logos.
I imagine I could have used a XO at a school or one of the Windows machines at the cybercafé.
Imagine how many problems may be solved with Etoys-To-Go for children with problems to access a computer or an internet connection.
They may keep both Etoys-To-Go and their project folder in a pendrive and work wherever they can get a computer for a period of time.
They may complete one project after working for example at school, at home, at a cybercafé or with any computer borrowed from friends or relatives.
The finished project will have no signs of having been prepared in several different computers.
