• Perfect for busy little fingers!

  Skele-KittyMarch 16, 2007

  Pros

  This neat little program was obviously created by someone who had a 12 month old! <p> <p>- It has kept my work safe from "the attack of the toddler" (that wants to participate), and <p>- kept my toddler happy by making her believe that she is actually doing something! <p> <p>I like the fact that you can personalize the program, by allocating names of family members to various keys.

  Cons

  A step-by-step (for dummies) procedure is needed in the read-me attachment, for parents who know absolutely NOTHING about computers. <p> <p>Reprogramming Maddie 1.0 is simple enough ... IF you know what to do. <p> <p>Open up the "MaddieMap" - Text Document attached to the extracted program, and to insert a name into a letter, for example: <p>"MAP a apple" <p>simply change it to: <p>"MAP a Adam" <p>and don't forget to SAVE. <p> <p>Likewise, change "WINDOWS ON" to "WINDOWS OFF" if you want to be rid of the frames. <p>Then again, don't forget to SAVE. You can even change the QUITWORD if you want!

• Great for Little Ones Obsessed with Keyboards

  ketra1416September 13, 2006

  Pros

  When my 2 year old nephew came over a while back, I had to turn off my computer because he was obsessed about the keyboard. Now, I won't have to worry about it. It is easy to exit out of: all you have to do is type "Maddie."

  Cons

  None at all. This is a great program.

• it is free and effective

  jbennettrnFebruary 22, 2006

  Pros

  it is free and it works, now I have something my 15 month can play with without upsetting the delicate balance I achived with mp xp. For those people who did not read maddiemap.txt simply hitting ALT+CTRL+DEL will exit the program. Can not get more simpler than that

  Cons

  none

• Great way for a baby to explore the keyboard!

  LouieInSeattleDecember 5, 2005

  Pros

  I like the large letters, numbers and signs (=,+, etc.) that come up on the screen, and that they change color and position if the baby holds the key down. I tried this with a 8-month old boy, and he liked it, but I did have to move the monitor down closer to the keyboard so he could see it without having to crane his head upwards. He also liked touching the screen.

  Cons

  You have to type Maddie in upper and lower case to exit. No big deal, but they could have made this more clear.

• Just what I was looking for!

  PigafettaJune 28, 2005

  Pros

  Does exactly what it says it does! You can also change the little words that pop up with the letters. It beeps too, and a smiley face just for hoots!

  Cons

  One tiny observation since few reviews have mentioned difficulty in escaping. The Caps Lock key remains active and the exit command is case sensitive. So, if you dont notice the little caps lock light on your keyboard, it isn't gonna work!

• Software does exactly what it claims.

  fedexguy247February 26, 2005

  Pros

  Very usefull for keeping my curious 18 month old from altering my PC in any way. It's very simple to use and it's free!

  Cons

  I have not found any. Just run the .exe and remember to type a CAPITAL "M" when exiting the program.
