My daughter (18 months) currently plays two games on the computer: Baby Smartronics! (Windows 9* game), and the Trash icon under KDE 2-3.*(Linux game). I have found the Baby Smartronics CD in the game cube (didn't really fit) and 30+ trash windows open under KDE.
There definitly needs to be some sort of toddler age software Linux. I recently setup a desktop for my daughter; no icons taht actually point to a program except trash (how do you get rid of it under KDE 3.*?), a happy backgroud, and a few icon that point to various mp3 files. I am currently modifing a drawing program written years ago by myself to run on the root window. I hoping that the drawing program provides fun for at least a few months, and if I get off my can and write more it should be good for longer.
Is there any other toddler age software available?
I have one of the developer Zauruses. The keyboard is great.
It is very easy to use and except for the few odd symbols I know where everything is without having to look.
The best way to say this is the keyboard is faster than any other input method, and this is not because the other input methods aren't good, the keyboard is just faster.
I can see the merit in building applications out of several languages. Several programs here at work are mixs of several langauges. But, interfaces between the languages need to be build (or borrowed via libraries), and these can add significant amounts of work. Also, debugging, it can be painful.

Actually fish tank pumps are about as simple as possible. They are made to handle fish crap as well as water.

Did it occure to anyone that this is the first step of digital all the way to the speakers?
Can you say mandated on all speaker manufacturers? This is not good.
