The key to this is IMAGINATION. That's what's lacking in today's advanced
technological world. I recently ran across a PC game called Army Men,
fashioned after the green and tan army men we used to play with as a kid.
Now of course you don't need any imagination to see them move and throw
hand grenades. Thank God for imagination, cause graphics can only show you
a fraction of what your imagination could. Which only helps to make better
graphics. She will fare well.
