yep - that is interesting. I think it would help to have a GUI, for
children on older machines, because trying to remember all the dos
commands when you are quite young is quite hard. (trust me i can
remember! when i was 3 or 4 i had a 5086! i think it blew up...but it
might still work :S) and i also agree that programming apps. for young
adults, would be VERY useful.<br>
