If anybody has experience with good quality (semi-)educational Macintosh
programs for preschoolers (say under 5 yrs), I'd appreciate hearing from
you.  When we return to Australia in July I'd like to take a supply home
for my daughter.  (She's not quite 2 yet, but the availability and
pricing of software Down Under is not the best.)  I'm not a big believer
in 'hunt em and kill em' type computer games, but am interested in
programs that can teach hand/eye co-ordination, name/shape recognition,
etc skills as well as provide some fun.  I really don't know anything
about this type of software, so will be most grateful for any pointers.
(PD, shareware, commercial, or stackware all fine.)  Thanks for your
help, Rob.
