Some organisations have a policy of testing any new software in a virtual PC, before they deploy it on their networks and looking forward, many applications might permantly run in such a configuration. We are pleased to say that rfid Learning Table works just fine in a Virtual PC space as you can see below and indeed, we run it like this often, when building and deploying interim builds for testing.

We use and recommend VMWare (www.vmware.com) which supports virtual USB ports, so even the reader works fine in this environment. :)

Just a reminder that we will have a trade stand at the Inclusive Learning Technologies Conference, Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort & Spa
158 Ferny Avenue Surfers Paradise Queensland from the 12 to the 15th of May. We will have a sneak preview of the 1.4 release of rfid Learning Table software, as well as the new High Frequency readers. You don't need to be attending the conference to still be able to visit us, so please drop by and say hello!

Simon Brown a teacher of Stone Masonary has blogged with an update on his use of rfid Learning Table here. It's always great as developers to read these kind of stories, so if you have one to contribute or have blogged your experiences with rfid Learning Table, then please let us know!

Adobe have launced an online version of Photoshop that is Flash based. It's actually quite good for casual use and a good example of what Flash can do. It would be more than fine for many peoples needs and great for education where you may not have a photo editing tool installed on the computer labs PC's. You can give it a test drive here.
