On my bbs, a coworker has uploaded a program called MEMORY.  It has an
array of card plates, tag one with a mouse and it shows what is underneath.
You can then find matches.  He added an option so you can just tag them
and leave then flipped, then hit the space bar to reset.  His 2-year old
daughter would sit hours and do this.  It didn't take here long to learn
how to move the mouse and have it do what she wanted.
