Note: whatever app you decide upon, make sure it comes from a reputable site and includes an uninstaller. It would be a good idea to set a restore point prior to installing the app.....just in case. After you have found an interesting app, be sure to do a Google search on that particular app to determine its' quality, etc. For example: <name of app> problems , <name of app> opinions , etc. Do this BEFORE installation!

Was just wondering if anyone here knew of something similar to mavis that is on the freebie list.... I always like to ask first about utilities in case someone has experience with any of them. I checked http://www.oldversion.com in case mavis was there, but alas, no luck. I really did like that program myself, and I know the kids would enjoy it too, without even realising they were learning. That said, maybe I should just go out and buy it. (nah, food is too expensive along with petrol, i'll keep looking on google for a freebie...... off you go magic boomerang, find me what i want.) J
