<You really think the TLC software is any good? Most "edutainment" titles I've come across have been heavy on glitz and light on content.>
My 3 1/2 year old and 20 months old love it. Nothing makes them happier than turning on the computer to play a game. It's got colors music, interaction, tells them they are great. What else could you ask for. My 3 1/2 year old can play the games all by herself now.
More important, TLC dominates the market for shelf space and they've effectively covered most topics with reasonably priced software. I look at all the new computers being purchased and say what will they buy as add on software. Certainly, home users will buy loads from TLC. I can tell you I am quickly building loyalty to them based on the good experiences my children are having.
Less is more.
Are you a beta tester for Microsoft?
Anybody think it's likely that AT&T will buy AOL? If, when, the TCI deal goes through, will they have the internet services in place to go it alone? AOL is certainly expensive, but it would be a bold stroke, but TCI was also a bold stroke.

PS Have you progressed with your special program to download SI? I maybe interested in a copy when it's finished. I missed my plane to Australia Tuesday, and will try again Saturday. Not easy flying standby, but the price is worth it. |
