btw, I just read your user bio page. It says "Before web I've been doing fairly low-level high-perf C++/Win32 work for industrial automation". That is my exact background - my case with C/assembly working on the real time OS for GE Fanuc's 90-70 programmable logic controller. What drives real time systems engineers to want to build kid friendly interfaces?

Probably the fact that building a service so user-friendly and easy to use that a child can enjoy it is the exact opposite of the crazy stuff that you have to do to build embedded and real-time systems...
I salute you guys! Without you the world as we know it would not turn. Now, I'm off to code in Ruby...
