By tram you mean streetcar, right? That's cool, though(:
I'm trying to get my 4 year old neighbour started with
computers. She's getting along very well with a mouse
and can almost colour between the lines now(: She has
successfully mastered chosing colours, and can (55% of
the time) manage to get the back button on the browser.
Hopefully her mom won't put her down too much if she
tries to do more later... We tries.
