Re: Please visit the new Etoys website!

HI, Karl -

Thanks for your comments.   We left the Kedama tutorial off as it is  
rather outdated and may not be too compatible with the new version.    
We would certainly welcome anyone's offering of an updated version to  
help users get started with Kedama.

cheers,

  -- Kim
