As I hoped the little machine came back to life after some reinstalling and juggling with hardware. My plan should probably be taking this into account but that isn’t really fesable at present so instead of a 3 year lifespan it will probably have to be more towards 5 if it holds up that long.
Kids also need to have acces to one and I notice how the literacy skills are improving with the stuff played.
Sum is that I need to keep a lot of machines up and running.
