That's very true. I didn't say this in my last email, but although we have
KidWorks, the kids don't use it. They prefer Claris Works. :-) They are very
proficient on their computer, and my 8yr old even knows how to force quit
applications, and how to use the programmer's key to quit to the finder.
They use some fairly sophisticated software, and both older children (11 and
8) can type. :-) (Mavis Beacon taught them)
