I Need One Of These For My KidsNot only will it protect my keyboard, but it will get my baby comfortable with the computer (my 4 year old does fine on the computer). If I had a Mac, I'd install this software, too, so that my kids could pound around and not delete everything. Anybody know if a software like that exists for PCs? Links via BB.

I suppose if it is of interest to anyone else I can work out some bugs and make it a little more solid and give it away. Jake said on 08/25/04 @ 04:46 PM: Hell yes, Rick! Need a beta tester? :-) Aaron said on 08/26/04 @ 02:59 AM: When my first was in the "banging-on-the-keyboard" stage, I thought of a similar idea. It wouldn't interact with the computer (which I would still work on), but would be a panel on it's own, which my hands could slip under and continue typing, the kid would sit on my lap and play. We got those big trackballs with one button for their games... they like it. Rick said on 08/26/04 @ 07:20 AM: Yeah, ill try to get it in shape this weekend. So far its only been about 20 minutes work to get it going.... Jes said on 08/26/04 @ 09:45 AM: How about this one ? http://www.syntap.com/products_babysplat.htm Jake said on 08/26/04 @ 09:50 AM: Right on, Jes! I'll certainly have to check that out!
