Since I'm the one that brought this one up...

I have since played with Krayon. It's not *quite* there yet, but
could probably be made to do so without a whole lot of effort. If
it's a hassle getting KidPix to work with wine, it may be easier to
put some development into Krayon.

Davidson, actually (at least our version is - it's amazing to me how
many times these programs change hands, like Carmen Sandiego:
Broderbund -> Riverdeep -> LearningCo IIRC).

If you get Math Blaster to work, I'm assuming (and we all know what
that does) that Reading Blaster will work as well.

What's the replacement? I'd be interested in this, too.

*ugh* (assuming you're talking about NCS Pearson's SASI) It's bad
enough under windows.


The only thing noticably missing from your list is the "Knowledge
Adventure" (JumpStart) products. Without seeing any statistics to
tell for sure, I'd be positive they have the biggest market share
outside the classroom of the 'edutainment' products.
