A couple of people have expressed interest in educational software
but the Amiga really lacks it. I've found an interesting way around
this by using CanDo 1.5.  Basically this is a "tool prototyper" 
kind of thing. 

Anyway, for small kids especially, get some clip art of various
things like apples, dogs, cats, people etc. Then use a big font
like Helvetica 24 bold and put up pictures and words and have the
kids click the mouse on them. It is really very easy to do and
if you get enough of them Innovatronics would surely be interesed
in distributing your disks for profit.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
