http://lists.pharo.org/ responds with "Bandwidth Limit Exceeded The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later." Maybe someone can care about this/forward to the admins to restart the service. Thx T.

Re: [Pharo-users] Right-click and tutorial

by Sven Van Caekenberghe

Ben, He is right, it is a problem when you go to the tutorial via the Browse tutorial tool: And yes there is already an issue but it was temporary closed because the welcome space's first expression helps a bit.

Expanded Pharo Syntax Tutorial. Clicked Welcome. Highlighted 'PharoTutorial next.' Right-click of mouse does nothing. Fortunately, Alt-D does perform the do-it action.

Ben, Just a quick reality check: Tonight I downloaded Pharo 3.0 from pharo-project.org and unzipped the files on a Windows 7 Starter netbook. Everything went fine: PharoV30.sources appeared instead of the old V20 version. Not that I expected otherwise, but I was curious and it never hurts to add another set of eyes. Perhaps this thread is moot now that 30845 is (momentarily) the latest build?
