If KK never used the term 'toy,' the subsequent instructive reactions would not have been posted. I do value the masters' description of how they use their programs, and I'd like them to continue elaborating. verb, to entice, to tease...get the idea? I happen to use programs the way KK suggests. I think I understand just about everyone's opinion on this issue, and I don't feel worked up about it, just really entertained...I confess I skip to the end of threads though... Keep in mind that being a "toy" is not mutually exclusive of "didactic" qualities. I wonder what the folks at Mindscape think of Mr. Cumming's comment re whether the term "toy" is offensive. Keep in perspective what their market is, "hey kids, guess what toy I bought you for Christmas!" "Oh Daddy, Mommy, thank you!" They'd also be chuckling that so many posts are about their product. Say KK, how much are they paying you?
