I just received a copy of Alge-Blaster (educational software, designed to
teach algebra). I thought it would be entertaining, but the un-opened box
makes it seem otherwise. Does anyone out there in Greater Netland have
experience with Alge-Blaster? Is it fun for kids to use?

Side issue 1: I would like to recommend Number Munchers...my 3rd grader
(math level) loved it for a couple of months (until she discovered the
other shoot-em-up games on the Mac). Her memorization of the times tables
increased, and she got a lot better at mental math (15 - 9 =, 44 / 4 =,
etc.).

Side issue 2: I got Alge-Blaster from MacConnection, and was pleased that
they have (and answer) an 800 number for return authorizations. Compare
to an experience a couple of months ago with DAK Co., who NEVER answered
their numbers for return authorizations. If you buy a defective product
and cannot get a return authorization number, you are stuck with it.
