One school has a large number and students use them all day, checking them in and out at the start and end of each school day! Am thoroughly enjoying my Grand Tour! Thanks again KimP Thanks for the comment Dave :)

Trouble is also that not all kids have these or the models that can use the apps. Otherwise I'd be using them daily - might even trade in my Blackberyy for the latest S IPhone! As always great posts - we may not comment often but you have hordes of secret admirers worldwide especially those using Samorost thanks to you! Enjoy the European tour!
