For those of us who were kids during the late 90's, the computer was a pretty fascinating device, but it didn't really play too much of a role in our lives. It was there when the first videos were around and when most of us had to wait roughly ten minutes for our dreaded dial-up internet to finish loading something. However, computer usage is playing an ever growing role in young people's lives, both at home and at school. Hell, there are plenty of eight year olds out there who are more computer savvy than some adults. However, some kid-friendly computer programs are still a good tool for helping to get children acclimated to computer usage while maintaining some parental control.
Fortunately for parents, PeeWee PC is there to help them. PeeWee PC makes notebooks and desktops geared towards children. They now offer the PeeWee kit, which is children's software on a 4GB USB stick. The USB stick essentially helps bring kid friendly programming to netbooks.
The PeeWee kit includes games and software for education. There is also a tool that allows parents to monitor how long their kids are on the computer and what they're doing on it. The Kit is available on the flash drive $30 and on CD for $20.
