As far as I knew, Smart Notebook has never been licensed for free on non-Smart products. We had to use Lynx when we bought a touchscreen about 5 years ago because we weren't allowed to use Smart Notebook on it. I thought that was one of the 'advantages' of... er Advantage. Question - Why am I sat in a pub on a Friday night replying to posts about Smart Notebook?

Signal... don't forget signal. That's another crucial element.

I don't know. I'm out on a school visit all afternoon and what happens? Banter abounds on the Socktober thread when I can't join in...again!! I'm beginning to take this personally.

That's still me boned, then.

You really shouldn't put yourself down so much @VeryPC Al, and @VeryPC_Colin_M is very good at his job. Edit: And I'm so glad there was a cutaway at 0.13, as it looked like Colin was about to try to do something with the Sockadile!

I stand corrected. We should never have upgraded from Smart Notebook 9! The problem we'd have reverting to that would be the newer files wouldn't work on legacy software. '...because it's not what we're used to.' Betcha! :(

None! All your entries belong to me now. Mmwwwaa-hahahahaha-haaaa!

I'm hoping that our current SmartBoards will be our last and that we can move over to touch-screens in the next couple of years. The main barrier is going to be convincing the teaching staff to use something other than Smart Notebook. (We've always used it and we've got SOOOOO many resources made.) It's probably worth me doing a little research for alternatives now and touting a few ideas with a select few who can then give me backup when the time comes.

Thanks @localzuk. Methinks we'll just be sticking to the old free version then. At least that means I won't have to worry about updates for a while. 10 minutes to install on that setup? No thankee!

I reckon everyone should just by @nephilim's ebook on prepping and we'll all be safe. On a serious note, I've just had an email from UNICEF about the impact of the disease in parts of Africa. I'm not sure what the forum rules are about posting links to charity appeals, but here's the web version of the email. There's also a story on their blog about The Ebola orphans of Sierra Leone if anyone would like to find out more. Thanks

Yessssss!! Wasn't sure if that was a bit too subtle, but I'm glad somebody liked it. I was wondering whether Google would actually dare to make a Nexus 6, but apparently it's due for release next week. There has to be a connection between Nexus, Android and Bladerunner (or is this already common knowledge and I'm just out of touch?).

I love the fact it said 'them' during the opening titles when nobody was even speaking!

I can just picture the looks of bewilderment on the poor little angels' faces if I showed them the video. A bit like Rachael's memories in Bladerunner. (Gutted for her! ) Forget Google's new Nexus 6 Android device - I want one like this!

I've got a Year 5 class in doing funny Photoshop pictures. Not fair. I want to be doing funny Photoshop pictures... after I've watched today's video.

I was wearing my test card F t-shirt just the other day. It's always a popular one.

She... she... told me... she was... *sob*... going to Sheffield... *sniff*... on business!

http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/tumbleweed.gif I'm going for lunch, THEN I'm going to do a recorder club. Go ahead and banter away while I'm gone. Don't care!! Didn't want to join in the fun anyway!!

All those heads and not a single Photoshop. Put in some effort, boy! (Sorry for going so far back in the thread, but it's so ironic that the one morning when there's loads of banter going on, I'm busy in a meeting with... @VeryPC_Andy! Bet it all goes deadly silent now. )

So could the Red Hot Chili Peppers... but I'm not going to attach a picture of how they've used them!

Just had a go at that, but I really ain't got the time to do it right.

So what time you doing the dro', sisters?

FTFY. Is your name Claire Voyant? I've just come back from my third wee in less than two hours, and I was having similar thoughts!

Al? A cat? No, that'll be Tom. Geddit?

GADZOOKS!!!! Has @X-13 become a pony-free zone???
