OT: Proud father break

She's teaching me how to use the painting program now...five years old and its "Not like that, Dada! Look, if you press this...then this...then this....you can do that."


She did the above in about 6 minutes. I'm impressed.

Around '94, my dad brought home our first computer. The first thing I latched onto was the default art program.

If your daughter enjoys drawing & colouring, you might consider a Tablet-Laptop.

The pen is easier to handle than the mouse. The endless colours, crayons & paints will be limited to the tablet screen, rather than your walls.

Congrats man.

Otto, what program? I've got a five year old, and I'm getting sick of hearing Diego on NickJr. com

it's simply called "Paint", Dollared, and came installed with the PC when I bought the package. It's a bit like a simplified Corel Draw (simple is good for me).

I just checked on Google trying to find a free download of the thing and couldn't, but this link is for a paint prog for 3-12yo...free download, looks promising.

As for Diego...never liked that showoff myself, either. Viva Backyardigans (Samurai Pie is Oscar material)

Otto,

Thanks very much, I will get the little monster to work.

Some day I gotta meet you, and not just because it would mean I found a way back South. It's not enough that we share an interest in creative promoters, corrupt elites and the lazy journalists that enable them. But the Backyardigans! Now that's religion.
