I have 3 boys, ages 10, 8 and 6. I'd love to find something that would 1) teach them how to touch-type, and 2) introduce them to programming (though keep in mind, the extent of my programming is the VCR controller, the microwave, the controls in the car for everything and a few scripts and other configuration files scattered throughout my debian installation). How do I pry my boys away from puff games on the net and the x-box and playstation and convince them they could be writing the programs on those platforms instead of just playing them? Scott
