At two years and eight months Jayd's fascination with he computer and the Tablet Pc continues to grow. On more than one occasion her parents have found her sitting at the desk going through photos on the upstairs laptop. As you can see from the photos below she is very intent on on her work.
Her life will be enlightened by technology, she will have more options and more choices than ever before. And by the time she's old enough to write her name, using a Tablet PC will be second nature to her. She is the big sister to 6 month old boy - girl twins and in all likelihood a few years from now she will be teaching them how to use the Tablet. But for now Jayd is happy not to have to share her Tablet PC time.
Jayd finds VT Coloring Book by Vectiva very much to her linking. After showing her just once how to change the color of the pen much to my amazement, as well as her parents she could navigate the program, change the both the color and the size of the pen with out anyone's help.

The artist at work... |
She is working at 1024 x 768 resolution because at the time it didn't occur to me to change it for her. But the size of the colors boxes on the color pallet is very small at this resolution. VT Coloring Book for Tablet PCs would be easier for young children to use at 800 x 600. However, since most people do run their tablets at 1024 x 768, we're hoping that Vectiva will adjust the size of the color boxes in the next version, making it easier for little hands to click on the colors they want with the pen.
Will this pint size princess grow up to be a Professional Surfer, a Doctor, a Lion Tamer, an artist?, Time will tell. BUt I have the feeling it's a pretty safe bet to say she will grow up a women of technology.
