Hello everybody. So I've never posted or interacted with ANY forum before, so I have no idea how this is going to go. but I am a passing fan of lost media so I figured is there was any place to start it would be here. back in elementary school (around kindergarten iirc) I remember using some sort of computer program, it was your basic education program, learning letters, musical notes, basic word combinations bundles with minigames to make learning "fun". well for some bizarre reason vague memories and images of that program have been floating around in my head for the past few years and I just can't get it out.
like I said before, I don't really remember many details about it, even if it was a program or just an in-browser service (as this would have been around 2005, so the early days of the internet). the few details I remember is that it was running on an imac G3 (blue), it's UI was mainly orange, with different colored buttons on the left side indicating grade levels and games to play, with the center of the UI (to the right of the buttons) having a little "window" showing a thumbnail or preview of the minigame. the clearest detail I remember is that at least one of the minigames was 3d/cgi (imagine late 90's early 2000's), and one of the characterrs was like a straight crystal with a womans face kinda plastered on it that would obviously serve as this characters face (I believe that particular minigame was music based). and I think it also may have had some sort of built in art program (similar to paint) but that may also be a seperate program I used around the same time.
I know this is so damn little to go on, but I would have used this for like one year betwee 2004-2006, and my memopry from 20 years ago can get really fuzzy as I was a daydreamer kid. this would have been used on a imac G3, early 2000's, in the Austin ISD. any advice on where to start looking or anyone who may have memories of similar programs would be greatly appreciated.
