About AlphaBaby
My kids love to play with the computer. Unfortunately, they also have the habit of renaming my hard drive to �axlfkaj.� So I wrote AlphaBaby so they could safely use the Mac without inflicting too much damage! AlphaBaby lets even infants and toddlers have fun playing with the computer. Every time a key is pressed or the mouse is clicked, a letter or shape is drawn. Sounds can be played every time something is drawn. Your own sounds and pictures can also be used. AlphaBaby helps kids to learn letters, plus provides a safe environment for kids to have fun �typing� on the keyboard!
What's New
Version 1.7 fixes the problem where Expose and Spaces could still be activiated while running AlphaBaby. It also adds a few new modes and customization features. Version 1.7 continues to be a Leopard-only Universal Binary.
Version 1.6 is a Leopard-only release. It should address any Leopard compatibility issues. It will only run on Leopard (OS X 10.5 and up).
Version 1.51 is now a Universal Application. No other changes from 1.5 have been made. The following changes were made in version 1.5. Images can be loaded from iPhoto albums. There is a new drawing mode which allows different images, lines, and shapes to be drawn on the screen. New options to speak colors and match your own sounds to letters allow you to customize how letters are pronounced. Version 1.5 has been tested on Mac OS 10.3 and 10.4. It is not supported on earlier versions of Mac OS X - please use version 1.4 of AlphaBaby if you are running an earlier version of Mac OS X.
