Wow what great resource you are providing. The fruitshoot game will be right up DS's street. Thanks.

it is a resource mainly for the incompetent... ME! i managed to wipe my entire history from the computerr and have had to come back to using this! i would not put it past me to completely bugger up the computer at some point... or have to give it to exh as it is technically his.

based mainly on what dd is given for homework and things that i come across whilst looking for good sites for her.
