I found mention of it a few years back on boing^2 but lost the scent. The desire to teach my little ones that computers are not all about bloat and legaly constrained guis made me go and find the makings. What I lack now is the orginal manual that came with it, there is a meatspace source for it that I am tracking down.<\/p>\n<p>This was a paper trialto see if it worked, it does. Paper thoug is teh flimzy so I am goingto make the next one out of sturdier stuff, maybe cardboard with the text laminated on\u2026I dont know yet.
