I was going to show you the Freeduc CD which is a bootable Linux distro with
loads of educational software on it.  Its a case of dropping it in the drive
and booting your PC.  Runs fine on my laptop although sound on my wife's
laptop doesn't work. It has activities from basic hand eye mouse
coordination through maths and English games to advanced mechanical
modelling.

(I was the Chris wandering round with the crash helmet and Day-Glo jacket.)

Seb has the Freeduc CD too and AFAIK will be including the applications
(some or a selection of) in the Hypercube Educational server installation.
