Learn why we call some of our titles "Sunday Software-designed"

AGE RANGES are variable:
Almost any of these programs can be stretched to younger children (K-2nd) provided there is a teacher or parent there to help them. In many cases, these programs contain extra study for older students which younger students can skip.

Mac Compatibility
Some of our newer win/mac programs won't run on older Mac OS 7/8/9. Some older Mac-compatible programs won't run on newer Mac OSX that don't have classic mode. And if you have a Mac with OS 10.5 and an Intel chip, be extra careful. Read each program's description page carefully. Better yet, stick with PCs. Too many good titles will not run in Mac or newer versions of the Mac OS.
