    When I heard about eToys going to be shipped with first batch
    of machines from OLPC project I cannot help not to think back
    what Alan and Dan said about eToys.

    My impression was that neither of them are happy with eToys.

    IIRC, even Andreas was not happy at all and he was a vocal
    critic of morphic on which eToys was built. hence Tweak.
