Hi– I just found out after sending the message below to "All" at the Amiga Arts forum, that this forum has been added. I think this is where the message should go. I read the notice about sending messages to multiple forums, so I figured I should send it to you to post as you see fit. Thanks. My ten year-old uses a typing program for the Apple IIGS called "The Wonderful World of Paws" at his school. At home, he has an Amiga 500 (a year or so old) with 1 Meg of memory. Does anyone know if they make a version for him? If not, are there other typing programs available for kids? Also, I noticed in a store that many labels say "requires kickstart V1.2 or higher." I don't use an Amiga (yikes!), so I don't know what this means. Last, can anyone tell me a software store in the West L.A./ Santa Monica area that has a good selection of Amiga software? Thanks, Linwood Boomer

I haven't heard of that program for the Amiga…but perhaps someone else here has. Versions of KickStart refer to versions of the operating system. Since you have an Amiga 500, you should have version 1.3…so you're "safe" if you buy those programs. Steve
