Dear Kylie

thanks for that very informative
Suggestion
I wonder and it could be a lot of trouble if  maybe you came up with 4 
Variations
1 As is for a family with children all ages
2 One focused at families with Teenagers
3 Adult couples who want the net and Openoffice
4 Hi tech users

I personally found  too many games but then we are a couple

I suppose suggestions could come in on what people think is the
most reliabel and useful programs and find out what isn't even being used
Browser
Office
Video
Dial Up
desk top
Multi Media
Camera
Paint
etc
I like Mozilla and Open Office ppconfig Icewm
I hated Tux Paint

that sort of thing

this is only a suggestion
