I don't think either one is appropriate for a 9 year old.

May I suggest . . .
_Microzine_ (Scholastic Inc) or
_UpTime_    (order subscription by calling 1-800-437-0033)
  
Both are excellent "magazines," which contain (mostly)
educational programs (including logic, math, word processing,
graphics, etc.) They're both fairly expensive, but will
keep your kids interested and impressed. My son's been
on an Apple IIe since he was 5 and is now still going
strong on a IIgs at the ripe old age of 11.

May I suggest
   _Microzine_ by Scholastic scope and/or
   _UpTime_   (Uptime)
  
Uptime is a "disk monthly." Scholastic scope is more expensive
and comes less often but is more high powered.
Both are magazines on disk loaded with fun and educational
software.
Both are excellent and have kept my son happy for the past
couple of years. He's been on a IIe since 5 and is still
merrily programming at the ripe old age of 11 on a IIgs.
  
Be happy to answer more questions if ya want to write direct
