Hello my name is Caelyn I am 6 years old. I live in Uigg on Prince Edward
Island in Canada There is a reindeer farm across the road from me. Some of
the computer programs I like to use include reader rabbit, math rabbit,
dungeons of doom, pattern maker write and speak and hypercard. Are there
any other kids out there that like computers and would like to write to me.
Je parle francais aussi.

Hey Caelyn,

It’s Caelyn here.

Looks like we were a bit ahead of the game, and there were no other kids on the internet to have this conversation with at the time. 20 years later, there is no shortage of people to talk to computers about. In fact, since you are going to grow up to be a software developer at Google, computers are going to be your life.

Maybe not such a shock given that you made this post.

Anyway Caelyn, you are a pretty bright kid and think you have a realistic idea about adult life. You don't. It is going to suck so much less than you are currently anticipating. It is going to be so much better than you can possibly imagine. There are things in this world even cooler than reindeer farms.

Just hang in there, okay?

Et oui on peut encore parler français aussi.
