Re: OS 9 software
Thanks for the link to Macintosh Garden, I've found some other sites too. And now my kids are fighting over a 9 year old computer. gwen On Jul 28, 2009, at 11:36 AM, Janice F.

Re: OS 9 software
let me know what else u find... i have been refurbishing old imacs for my niece's first grade class in a catholic school... so far i have done 3 for her. The kids love it.. they don't need to be connected to the internet for these educational games, they get computer skills..and are learning math, spelling, reading... any other sites would be appreciated.
