Dave, I agree. What I believe TLC is focused on. Although they may not formally admit it is simply this. "Characters". The development of characters with broad appeal, is probably the single biggest expense for software developers. Buying Author was a great move for TLC. Kids love Author.

Too bad that Microsoft controls the Magic School buss though.

I hope they have a few people watching PBS for the next popular character. :-)
