thanks susan; there was one i had awhile back that i can't find
anymore, it was one that displayed a letter of the english alphabet, a
picture corresponding with that letter, changed the back ground color,
and the name of the picture was spoken by a female (with a strong
british accent if i recall).

Ah so - you're looking for something for young kids.

I tried Googling for Freeware + "learn the alpabet" - and got some promising looking links.

Info from a couple I visited:

http://www.yourchildlearns.com/

FREE Educational Software from Owl & Mouse:

Letter Sounds
Letter Sounds is a free program that provides young children an introduction to the idea of
letter sounds and phonics. Children drag a picture to the letter that the word that describes the
picture starts with. A sound card and speakers are needed to hear the voice that makes sure the
child knows exactly what word describes the picture and to reinforce the relationship between the
letter and its sound.
NEW! MORE LETTERS! If you downloaded Letter Sounds before 9/3/98 download the more complete version now.

Bah! I recognize this site! >:^(

When Tux Paint 0.9.14 was released last October, I submitted it to this
site within a month. They apparently ignored me. It makes me wonder,
is the site even maintained? Or do they simply ignore software submissions
without even responding?

Maybe I should go submit again (8 months later) for good measure. :^)

by ladybugs
Do you've got an url or something for me?
