    YEs, that helps! I emailed them and will hopefully hear back tomorrow. I even searched my online email which hasn't been deleted yet and it's not there. It may have went to my other email and that trash has been emptied. I have two receipts but not the download email. mad And I never delete things like that. So I guess it has to wait. You guys got me all excited and I know I have show extreme patience and delayed gratification.

    I FOUND IT!!!!!!!!! I just went to my email and randomly clicked on the page to activate Firefox and the email popped up!!!! It actually came in BEFORE the receipt so I was looking AFTER that time frame. WHEW!

    Ok I registered and DS did the prime number tutorial. But can you have multiple registrations for different members of the family? he's playing under my username but I'd like for him to have his own.

    Ok that was pretty weird my just randomly clicking and it being the ONE email I had been searching for, for over 15minutes?

    Insert spooky music here.....

    Yeah, I found that out after the fact as well. One user name and password. I just log in DS on my behalf and then he does the lessons. I've decided that I want him to do the lessons *first* and then the missions. Since we switched computers, he re-doing the first 5 missions, but going forward after that we'll do online tutorials then the game.

    Follow up: The game is really sinking in. This morning DS (correctly) told me about the laws of mathematics (Distributive, Communicative, Inverse Identity...) It's harder for him to pronounce the words than to explain the concept laugh

    He's also starting writing a series of "books", one for each mission. I'm glad that he's incorporating writing into his interest! (And I'm a little bit proud of him because at open house the teacher was talking about getting children to use proper capitalization for a single sentence, and he's correctly using quotations for character dialog, commas, etc.)

    Good stuff!

    Forgive me if I'm misreading your laugh and having a humour miscommunication, but I think that's the second time you've typed "communicative" for "commutative" and I don't like to think that you may be correcting your DS from a correct pronunciation to an incorrect one... reassure me?!

    Glad it's going well. I reckoned it seemed likely to be too scary for DS for now, but did order Descartes Cove which looked a little friendlier (though it's probably not for just yet). We'll see. He was very interested in the info re fiery eggs in TA, so thanks again.

    Ha! I'm sure you're right! I'm going to have to re-review the material myself
