<p class=MsoNormal>Does anyone know of a company that will sell
children’s software bundles that I can install on our public
computers? I would rather buy a bundle of 3-4 titles for all of our
computers than to have to purchase individually. We used to get the
bundle from Gateway with new computers but can’t do this now. We
like to have this installed on our computers for children that do not have
internet access.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
