Can't help but think some kid will tell his friends "my computer has qimo" and then be teased that his computer has cancer.


Ahh, its KIM-oh. As in Eskimo (their mascot).

The Halls are good folks. If you've got some old PC's laying around that still work, send them their way. They will be put to good use. The world needs way more of this type of thing and way less sheep-chucking and ifarting, imho.

This is a better link to the project on the new host.

That page sold me to find an old PC and install Qimo for my 4 year old godson. Doesn't say if there are any translations though. But if nothing else, it might be a good way for him to start learning English.
