[Trac #1309] kids learning to read like labels, but there are few

[Don Hopkins]

The virtual laptop sounds like a program that came with my old 90 mhz 
Thinkpad -- I think Ted Selker worked on it. It had a photorealistic 
virtual view of the laptop that you could turn around in different 
directions to see the various parts labeled, and it was integrated with 
documentation and status displays and control panels related to all the 
gadgets and interface plugs. For example, you could bring up the volume 
control panel by clicking on the speaker, and stuff like that!
