   Hi Bob,
   We at Greenbush were asking the same question a bit over a year ago
   and are extremely happy we went the Croquet route.  If you are
   interested to see what we are doing with it you can navigate over to
   [1]http://edusim3d.com or check out a pilot video of ours here -

   I was/am also very marginal with Squeak but we make heavy use of the
   KAT Demo code.  If you are not opposed to running a external VNC
   server to access your powerpoint that is the route we have gone in
   similar situations when we needed it.
   Hope that helped a bit... feel free to contact me if you want any more
   info or details!
   Regards,
   Rich

   Croquet to develop a series of interactive simulations for an MBA
   Information Systems class.  I'm leaning toward Croquet, but can't seem
   to confirm if certain functionality actually works.  For example, is
   there a browser embedded in an island that can access off-island
   resources somewhere to be seen?  Can I actually run a PPT show in a
   window in-island?  I've

   Mostly I find pictures of these things, but have yet to find a
   TEmbeddedApp that is functional.

   I admit to being a noobie and a marginal programmer at best, but the
   thought of being an early adopter in this technology has appeal.

   Thanks for your thoughts.
