Hello All,
My name is Katherine Darlett. I joined this online forum out of my love for the computer program Fin Fin on Teo the Magic Planet.
I have been interested in computers ever since I was a little girl, which is part of what led me to my job as a number cruncher. As such, I have been buying my children computer games, hoping to spark a similar passion in them (Though given how technology-forward kids are nowadays, I guess they wouldn't have needed my help, haha!).
In between the Freddi Fishes and the Jump Starts, I found the curious little Fin Fin in the local store. I'm wary of unfamiliar programs, of course, so I made sure to join my youngest when he started up the game. To my surprise, I was transfixed as well! Usually, computer games for kids are bright and gaudy, but this was calm and soothing.
Since my children quickly grew bored of the game, I decided to use the old computer we had been trying to sell and make the beautiful world of Teo a part of my home! Every day after I get home from work, I start up the spare computer, now in the living room, and just let the scenery speak for itself as I wind down. I think it's made a beautiful addition to my home!
Apologies for telling such a long story, I just felt the need to explain why a mature woman such as myself has joined such a youthful forum. I took a look at the other users here, and I noticed some other adults, but please let me know if I'm encroaching on a children's space here. I certainly wouldn't want a weird adult skulking around a children's site my kids were playing on!
I look forward to enjoying Fin Fin with you all, if you'll have me!
Best Regards,
