It's tough enough to make a visual basic that works well, because you have
to balance features and icons which actually MEAN something useful against
pictures and ease of use -- take it down a few notches and I think you'd
have a REALLY hard time making something that kids -- who are far more
imaginative than us -- would actually dig.
I give it a month.
