I've spent many "spare time" hours in the past couple  of  months
writing  a  color  paint  program  that offers all (and only) the
"basic" features of a paint program but gives  special  attention
to  the  needs  of  fairly young kids, e.g. my 6-year-old and her
friends, e.g. menu icons, a "backup" feature,  and  windows  that
provide   constant  visibility  of  the  most  important  options
(patterns, colors).

I wrote the program mainly for fun and as an excuse to learn some
Mac  features but it's now at the point where I think it could be
of broader interest. I'm willing to give the  program  to  people
who,  like myself, would eagerly have paid $10-20 for it, but who
couldn't afford a professional color paint program, or who  would
like  a  program  with  features intended to make it of immediate
interest to kids.

Does anyone know how many people might be  interested  in  having
this program?  What would be the best way(s) to distribute it?
