In other words --- Richmond is VERY VERY happy about Livecode today.
Indeed!
And so should loads and loads of teachers and would-be programmers round
the world.
Do the Maths:
Tatty old computer = $20
Old monitor (Res 1024 x 768) = $20
Keyboard & Mouse 'cheap as chips'
Free Linux OS
Free Livecode.
AND, quite often there are schools who have had second-hand PCs dumped
on them
by well-meaning Western charities which could be put to good use exactly
in this way.

I have just installed LC 6.0.2 OSS on Ubuntu 8.04.3
"So what?" I hear you say.
Because that Ubuntu 8.04 was running on a Pentium III
with 256 MB RAM.
"So what? How long is Richmond going to wibble on in this vein?"
A LONG TIME Because the Open Source Version of Livecode
is all about empowering many people who do not have
buckets of moolah to run fancy right-up-to-date machines.
Oh, and, while I'm here: I connected my favourite monitor
of all time that I fished out of a dumpster in front of a
supermarket in Scotland 9 years ago.
