And speaking of kids...

My almost-six-year-old son has been spending a fair amount of time using my new 15" Powerbook. When he minimizes a window down into the dock he says "I sucked it up."

I offer this terminology to Apple royalty-free :)

So we gave him KidPix for Hannukah, after having heard raves about it from my brother when his kids were small some dozen years ago. And it's just as cool as I hoped - the drawing tools are intuitive and the effects are easy to use and cool, and I love the sounds!

But I was disappointed to see that the latest version (Kid Pix 3 Deluxe) was a Classic app, not an OS X app, and only supports 800 x 600 resolution with thousands of colors.

MacKiev is supposedly porting Kid Pix to OS X, but they apparently announced it over a year ago...sigh.
