Snip!
Point well taken.
Thanks for reminding me about the younger guys and textural doesn't
mix well.

speadsheets,
such yak yak..of most types not including 100% dumb M$
NONONONONONONONO!!!
Word Processing and Spreadsheets, even 'net access can be taught just fine
on 8-bit machines, or DOS-based PC's. The younger kids are the ones who
can profit most from the non-textual interfaces that the newer machines can
offer.
To over-simplify: Older kids can read; they can learn to type commands.
Younger kids can't read; they need pictures (icons).
