 CIA> Could you post a list of -good- non-crippled, preferably non-windoze
 CIA> children's / educational programs, and perhaps a web or ftp site
 CIA> where some may be found?
 
 CIA> Well, when you do, as you find particularly nice programs, post a
 CIA> note about it for us :)
 
 Yes, I found another site:http://alivesoft.com
 I saw some other ones but they basically had older programs for 4th-adult.
 
 CIA> I'll look that up..  I haven't even thought of using a web search to
 CIA> look for files, it seems ftpsearch
 CIA> (http://ftpsearch.unit.no/ftpsearch) is the only system with a decent
 CIA> file database, but it's in Europe, and most of its data is for
 CIA> european ftp sites (they do have some of North America's major sites,
 CIA> coast/simtel, among them) .. 
 
 I haven't really looked too much in Europe, but did connect to UK for some,
 but at the moment can't remember where.
 RF> What Web browser do you use?
 CIA> Lynx, in Linux.
 
 My husband would love to run Unix, but we been so busy with other things
 that we just haven't really looked into it too much.  Also he is starting
 to get involved in fidonet, a little more heavily than before and 
onsidering
 being a hub, then there's the new house we just moved into.  He also wants
 to get a satilite dish so he can connect to planet connect, but everything
 is just into the discussing stage.
 CIA> dot-2-dot books and color pencils for practicing :) 
 I did see some of these for the computer.  I was so involved with what I
 was doing I even forgot to start school on time.  Hey, the kids didn't
 mind and I figured I was getting them learning aids anyway.  We did have
 school though.
 CIA> Ohh, and he cracked my password to the game Abuse, heh, chip off the
 CIA> old block (Ok, it was an 'obvious' password, but we never told him
 CIA> what it was, and he didn't get to see me typing it! :)
 
 Obvious or not the fact he did it at his age is great (I think). 
 I'll try to look a little better.  And start writing more down.  I get
 so involved once I'm on the internet.  Right now my kids are in there
 with my husband watching of course.
