I tried to send this to you, but my system doesn't seem to like the .UUCP
extension.

3-4 years ago (when my youngest was between 3 and 4), I used a game
called My ABC's. She really loved it. It has a matching game, numbers, 
letters and has some nice graphics. The music got to me after a while 
("turn that sound off!") but she was able to manipulate it so she could 
turn the sound off herself (which was amazing in itself since you had to go 
through option menus to get to them].

I'm sorry, but I don't know the name of the company now (it's been a while
since she has played with it).
