Description:

Email for Kids lets parents set the rules by providing password-protected security controls. Parents can block messages with inappropriate words or personal information and pass out electronic "stamps" to kids, so that parents control the number of messages kids send. The title features five colorful animation centers with busy characters, a kid-friendly interface and works with existing Internet accounts as well as major online services. Wow!

Notes:

This title will install to a removable disk, it's a bit convoluted, but possible. I also suspect the system requirements are understated - it ran very slowly on this 486, and Email for Kids would likely run much better on a Pentium 100 with 16 megs of ram. At least it offers the option of a minimum installation that only takes 19 megs of hard drive space.

Features:

Fun! Kids can stay in touch with friends and family. It's very easy to work in the program, and the parental controls provide peace of mind for adults!
