Soup KIDchen v1.1 Now Shipping.

Widdow Works is pleased to announce that Soup KIDchen version 1.1 on CD-ROM is now shipping.

Soup KIDchen is a unique program that transcends traditional children's software to help children use their imagination and have fun with their parents. It also helps parents take an active role in their children's education. Soup KIDchen's easy-to-use interface helps children (2-5 years) learn the alphabet, numbers, colors, and shapes by association with images and sounds which are completely configurable by the parent.

Soup KIDchen version 1.1 comes with (and is configured to use) a complete database of images and sounds. Therefore, Soup KIDchen can be installed and immediately used. However, the true strength of Soup KIDchen is that the text, images, and sounds that are presented are completely configurable by the parent (or grandparent, etc). We encourage people to build a database with pictures and recordings of relatives, pets, and other items familiar to the child -- even pictures and sounds that the child has made! The default database includes such examples. Children absolutely delight in seeing a picture of Grandma and hearing her say "Hi there!".

Soup KIDchen v1.1 can currently be ordered through J3 Computer Technologies, Indelible Blue and by the end of the summer at House of Technology and IBM Direct. For more information, please contact Widdow Works at 814-867-2469.

Announcing NetBeamer Internet Suite Beta.

NetBeamer is an application that integrates OS/2 Warp's Internet programs into an Internet suite. NetBeamer is aimed mainly at new users of Warp's Internet Access Kit (IAK) and for those who are teaching new users of the IAK. Experienced Warp users may find it useful as well, though probably not as flexible as they desire.

NetBeamer is FREEWARE! A version is in the works for the new version of OS/2, code named Merlin. Feedback from this version of NetBeamer will be used for the Merlin version.

Fpr further information see KrazyDog Software's home page.
