Actually, I still find an MS-DOS computer pretty useless. Then again,
I was old enough to vote before CP/M was written.

On the subject of animal-based learning material, the second link you'll
find in an Altavista search on "Thornton Burgess" is on the subject of
preschool curricula. It was my mother's childhood collection of books
by that author I used to learn to read. All anthropomorphic animal
stories, but relatively few illustrations. The collection was mostly
destroyed before I was ten by a litter of monsters whelped by a boxer
dog. I must see about replacing them.
