Even if it isn't what you remember, I bet it would serve. The course materials are interesting, too. Very game oriented --- almost every project ends with some sort of computer game the child can play after they've got it working. I know that'd be a good motivator for my kids, anyway. ;-) -- Terry Hancock ( hancock at anansispaceworks.com ) Anansi Spaceworks http://www.anansispaceworks.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
