Alan Kay has been thinking about how to introduce children to computers for longer than I have been alive (and I'm not THAT young). I would have to plug Squeakland for introducing kids to the world of computing: http://www.squeakland.org/
I heard his talk entitled, "Introductions To Computing Should Be Child's Play" and he did a demo of Squeak, and it made me feel as giddy as a schoolgirl.
Well, the word is official. Just listening to Peter Jennings, (sometimes the internet doesn't say it all!) and the absentee ballots in Florida can STILL be counted 10 DAYS after the polls close. So with the race in that state down to less than 2,000 votes, those absentee ballots could make all the difference, and we might not know for sure until the end of the day on Friday, November 17th.

Don't forget Mao (Mau)!
You're not really competing for any resources, just playing detective in a giant puzzle-world.
