content: It's a bit quirky! Unlike a real etch-a-sketch, you can't turn both knobs simultaneously. There is a way to delete a mistake but you have to press the color button several times for black. After downloading 2.0 I found it by accident! I was checking the developers list Easter egg and pressed the wrong button

content: Yes, I would not upgrade if I had trails. I have already bought all options I want. Only mask and education package left, and I'm not interested in those.

content: Quote from: hacklordsniper on October 21, 2011, 11:58:48 amIt would be cool if you could have your own splash screen!Like just being able to copy a JPG file from the USB stick to the internal drive somewhere.What do you say Agilent? next update please!But if anyone knows an easy hack, that would be neat.Dave.

content: Quote from: ToBeFrank on October 22, 2011, 01:31:52 amIt seems to depend on the stick. I have a very old 1G USB stick and an old USB SD card adapter which show the splash screen. All the others I have tried including a mico SD adapter don't. Maybe it depends on how long the stick takes to initialise.
