This download is a cute, kid-size window into a massive, and sometimes overwhelming world of information. The efficiency of this browser is in its simplicity. There is no URL box, so kids can't type randomly. The surfing is controlled by a collection of preprogrammed sites. Oddly enough, the parental control is turned off in the demo, and so we don't know how easy these are to change.

Unfortunately, the "cool links" were only mildly cool, and not very well organized. The jumping point lacked educational content, but offered a simple approach for recreational surfing. With so few buttons (last, next, stop, reload, and cool links) in such a simple interface, this would be a very practical "first surfboard".
