"The latest release - Sugar on a Stick - allows anyone to run the
software from a 1GB USB stick. It includes 40 programs, including a word
processor, drawing application and games.

Mr Bender said the ability to transport the software and plug it into
any computer would allow children to have a "consistent experience"
wherever they worked.

"No matter what computer you have at home or at the library you're going
to have the same use experience because you have sugar on a stick," he
said."
