So save those pennies. By the time you can afford the one your saving for there will be one even better. Of course by the time she can do a little math and programming she will just build one and blow you away. For now can&#8217;t you just teach her to dance the robot? </p> Well I think Emma deserves a robot. So save those pennies.

I think it&#8217;s rather amusing that both Emma and myself are learning how to program right now. I dont&#8217; know if you had this stuff but when I was a lad I learned some programming basics on Apple machines with LOGO and Hypercard. I remember writing lines and lines of commands in Logo just for a simple drawing. Hypercard was basically a precursor to Flash. I made a hypercard stack that was about George Lucas. It featured a Star Wars style scrolling introduction complete with music, a movie database complete with video clips, and an interactive quiz game. Needless to say, I got the highest grade in the class. I wish I still had it though. It wouldn&#8217;t fit on a disk because of the video clips so it&#8217;s probably still on a hard drive somewhere at my old high school.</p> Dude, that is so cool.
