SMART Board Revolution

A Revolution in Education

I just visited the Snow Leopard Compatibility wiki and the entry for Smart Notebook on there is as follows.

SMART Notebook 10.0.346.2 http://smarttech.com/ WARNING.png Crashes every 10 minutes

Does anybody have any experience with Snow Leopard and your Smart Board Software?

I have not had a problem with Snow Leopard on my particular machine. However one item to note is that SMART Response is not SNOW Leopard compliant. We are hoping to have compliance in the upcoming 3.5 release due out around the end of next week.
The flash problem will be fixed in the upcoming service pack.
See Christopher Klein's sensitivity tip that might help at http://smartboardrevolution.ning.com/group/smartmacusers/forum/topi...
What is the solution to letters connecting? I've been looking and haven't found it...

(I've a math teacher whose +s are continually changing into 4s, and whose =s don't work -- she's having a tough time!)
I just spoke with a Smart tech rep today who was able to resolve this issue for me (after much head-scratching). Open Smart Board Tools control panel, select Smart Hardware Settings, go to Mouse and Gesture settings, and decrease the sensitivity of the double-click to the minimum value. This resolved the issue, and so many of our teachers were so frustrated because their writing was illegible.
1) Open the Smart Control Panel
2) Click on Smart Hardware Settings
3) In the Pop Down Menu in the center of the page, scroll to "Mouse and Gesture Settings".
4) In the "Double Click Zone", slide the button as far left as you can without it disappearing.
5) Click "Apply"
6) Click "Ok"
That is good to hear. I had no problem with Notebook, but my smart responder software said no receiver was attached. I am upset that any software developer did not have upgrades available right away for the Snow Leopard update. Snow Leopard was announced two years ago to developers. They should have been making the adjustments two years ago.
While this is true Jim, the announcement and when files are completed and available to developers are totally different things. Apple and others have a tendency to not finalize their package until shortly (weeks) before it is available. As such, many companies (SMART included) have found that changing their software to match a pre-release version of an OS comes at a difficult price. For example, solving Flash issues was a much higher priority than working with an early pre-release of Snow Leopard as it would impact more users immediately than putting development time into something that has changed 3 or 4 times since the announcement.
As such, we are looking to have Notebook compatible very soon (possibly within the week) and we are in development for our Response system to be available in the very near future. When I get an expected timeline I will pass that information along.
Is there a good way to subscribe to these updates so that I know as soon as new software is available? RSS works too, if available. Thanks!
Hi... any news yet about when Smart will work with Snow Leopard? Seems from these responses that there are still major issues.
Any news on this update?
I have not had any significant problems; however, it has not been without some annoyances. While Notebook has never been a "bug-free" app, it does seem a little "flightier" than usual - more crashes than in 10.5. But, as I said above, I would not say it is significant. It certainly hasn't kept me from taking advantage of Snow Leopard or Notebook - and I have yet to lose any data. So, it is annoying, but definitely not a deal breaker.
