I tried ZOOMer flip.  You are supposed to flip tiles.  I don't see any 
tiles.  I see a large empty white rectangle surrounded by colored 
decoration.

I have Flash 7, Opera 7.23, and glibc 2.2.5, and four Motif libraries (2 
each 1.2 and 2.0).

With Opera 8 and glibc 2.3.0 do you see anything in the white rectangle?


I tried a math game in which you are asked to estimate the sum of three 
numbers.   As the images are loading, the timer starts going down.  It got 
to 00 about the time the images finished loading.  I have a 56K modem and 
the kids are getting a 28.8K.

I don't think this game even required Flash.

kids.learn2type.com  - works with lynx but it keeps telling you to click 
on images.  I see alt tags not images.

With lynx, I can see what I am typing.  With Opera I see the first four 
characters and then the others overtype those.

I could try links2 graphical but I want to stick to just one browser, that 
looks familiar to them.


I had better stick with offline games and the DOS typing tutor unless I 
can find a typing tutor with minimal graphics that works with Opera.

Thanks for checking out the sites.  I tried the abbasoft and pibmusic.com 
but they were not there.  (Maybe I typed them wrong?  Abbasoft was there 
but not the files you mentioned).
