In case anybody is wondering - this is actually built in Squeak using
Croquet (sans networking) and Tweak (for the UI). There has been a
German-only version in stores since last April, this is the English
version. Check it out, it's fun, and my kids love it :)

Great.

I'm working on connecting to these construction worker poor kids and the
other
corporation birthing etc. announcements might mean the it person at
Redland's, Cal
library won't be afraid of poking holes in her firewalling for kids.

Now, what remains for the currently low work construction worker contractor
father, is
to afford a fast graphics card (as a conceivable business expense? I have to
really chew
on this wild hypothesis!).

Plopp only uses port 80 (http) for sending ecards and uploading to
the gallery.

impara worked hard to make Plopp work even on not-so-high-end
graphics cards, or even onboard graphics. For example, a DirectX
rendering path was added under Windows because of shi^h^h^h non-
working OpenGL drivers in a lot of cheap boxes that end uo in kid's
rooms.
