Steve,

We kind of monitor the boys use of the XOs. I've noticed that the
number of entries in the Journal is really growing on some of the
units. What happens when the "Journal" gets full? Does it
automatically wrap around and write over older stuff? Or just give a
message indicating the some entries need to be deleted?

Thanks,
Ron

Hey Ron-

The design is for the journal to be self-cleaning, like the Playliist on a TiVo ;-)
Journal entries that are re-visited get brought back up to the top of the list, and when more space is needed for a new journal entry the ones at the bottom fall off.

There's also a mechanism to back-up activities to a School Server, but I haven't worked with that yet.

But a good question nonetheless.
