[Tuxmath-devel] Tux Math silence broken by... Dish Network!?

[Bill K. <nb...@so...>]

Sorry I still haven't done much work on Tux Math in a long time. :^(

I've got some very interesting news, though!  Someone from a company
called Echostar (which I believe own(?) the Dish Network) just e-mailed me
to let me know that Tux Math is going to be included in the latest software
update for their "721" model Linux-based PVR (personal video recorder;
like TiVo)!!!

Apparently, one can even still watch TV while they play they game
(alpha blending in the hardware, I think he said?)

I think I'll ask if he can take a photograph of it and send it to me! :)

Anyway, you can learn about the 721 here:

Pretty cool!  Too bad Tux Math isn't as ready for prime time (no pun!) as
it should be. :^/   (*guilt!*)


I also suggested he look at other Tux4Kids projects, like Tux Typing and
Tux Paint. :)
