How did the meeting go? Any chance you recorded a copy via webcam for those unfortunate enough to not be able to make the trip?

I'm especially curious to know how you got sesame to run on an iPad. Smiley

Too informal to be recorded.  But easy enough to make your own local group, ask around.  I have been hosting this for over 10 years now.   Wink

Sesame and iPad were nothing special, especially iPad.   Shocked   Received one as a gift in December, been forcing myself to like it, but I don't think its gonna happen.  It's not a computer, and too expensive to read eBooks, do email and web browsing.  Everything is just toys and games, too tough to work with, even with external normal keyboard. Undecided

The secret to Sesame and iPad is an application from LogMeIn.  Allows remote connection to systems that are running Sesame.  So, I was actually running Sesame THROUGH iPad, not ON it. Roll Eyes

Thanks Bob. I assumed it was something like that. I have an iPad too...and can't find a good use for it.  Undecided ... was hoping you may have set up a sesame server running behind an html page to access and display your data.

Now that windows 'touch pads' are becoming available, they may be a nice option. Sesame seems to work well with big push buttons on a touch screen interface. I'm excited to try it out...when the price drops to a reasonable level.
