...but REAL kid's computer would have the "design pet" button right next to the "hamster" button, and the "HP Trivia" button right next to buttons devoted to the smiley and frowny icons.

How often do you use a computer? Five times a week.

What do you like to do when you're using a computer? Play games and write stories and poems.

What will computers look like in the future? Well you see, if we had whole days to work on it, and bigger paper, I think we could make it way more detailed.

Who is better at using a computer, you or your parents? Games + me = good. Parents + trying = bad. I am better at using games and if you guys try them, you get crushed.
