Hello everyone. This is my first post here. I recently purchase an iMac for my 5 year old son. Although I've used Macs from time to time,and built large Appletalk networks, my background is mostly MS and Unix.

Anyway, it just made sense to buy my kid a Mac. I don't suppose I need to defend the decision here. Today I went shopping for a Flight Simulator for him. I found Fly! II and X-Plane. They both seem like pretty cool code, but I wonder if there isn't something cheaper and less complex out there that I might be able to pick up for a 5 year old who can't even read yet. He just likes to take off and watch the plane from within and without.

FYI: The system is the base 500 Mhz iMac with 256 megs of ram and the Rage-128 Video plumbing.

All replies appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

Kenny Payne
