I never said its cruel, now your putting words in my mouth, and whatever the educational software out there today is just as much crap as it was back when, your just bias because YOU grew up on that stuff

I sure would not give a kid a //e and math blaster thinking its some great community service that helps us both

sure they do, I have a guy at work that graduated in 2007, he didnt even know what the start menu was, just got an email address 2 months ago, and made his first ever online purchase yesterday

now are you saying if I had given him a SE 10 years ago he would be better off? probably not, If I had given him a windows 95/98 machine 10 years ago, maybe
