Scratch

Hi, my name is Dan Finlay.  I've been put in charge of a scratch-programming program at the City-run Studio One Art Center here in Oakland, CA.  I've taught nearly 50 children your program so far, and other than lofty hopes like "object orientation," my only request is this:

Please, please make the paint editor start zoomed all the way out.  It is almost 100% consistent that new students will accidentally make sprites much smaller than they intended, putting an absurd hiccup in the middle of an otherwise seamless experience.

Thanks so much for what you're doing, and for hearing my suggestion.
