The MAC doesn't have quite as much educational software as an IBM PC or
an Apple II, but it has many other advantages such as a consistent,
easy to use interface.  Even our four year old has no trouble using the
MAC Plus that we have.  We recently bought a copy of Reader Rabbit from
The Learning Company, and Kids Time from Great Wave Software.  Both are
excellent packages with several learning games in each.  They teach
pre-schoolers several key concepts necessary for reading (e.g. pattern
matching with shapes, letters, three letter words, etc).

The only complaint I have is that Reader Rabbit is copy protected which
is a real pain because we have to insert the master diskette even to
run it from the hard drive.

I would be interested in hearing about other educational packages that
are available.
