About this Site
Here is an excerpt from an email that Tina sent me, describing her site, and herself:
Perfect for family computing (especially stay at home parents), home
schools and schools, my reviews help making your next software purchase
a little less intimidating. You'll also find hardware reviews and
computer book reviews to make family computing more fun!
About myself--I'm a stay at home mom to two kids and freelance
technology writer. I've written for publications such as Mac Home
Journal, The Master Teacher's Technology Pathfinder for Teachers and
Administrators, Raising Arizona Kids, and others."
Highlights of this Site
There is a lot of very useful information at this site, and I have just touched-on some of the features this site has to offer. I hope you find this site as helpful as I have.
Have you ever been frustrated when you buy computer software for your kids, and soon discover that the game will only hold your child's interest for a few minutes? Well, this site, by a stay-at-home mom, can help! Tina Velgos, who maintains this site, reviews books, cd roms, and software for children and parents. This site is professionally done and has very few graphics, so it loads very quickly.

edutainment software for kids and families. You'll find "the best"
