Baby Smash! - baby proof computer fun

Babysmash! is a program by Scott Hanselman that allows you to have fun with your little one on the computer, the main feature being they cant break anything.
The idea is really simple. Babysmash! locks out all the usual keys and shortcuts on your computer, only allowing Ctrl-Alt-O to bring up the options or Alt-F4 to quit the application.
Any other keypress displays a smiley letter or shape on the screen, with either some laughter or talking describing the letters and shapes, although the talking is very computerised.
Babysmash! is totally free and simple to install, the only catch is that it's Windows only. I'd also recommend that you let them loose on a spare, preferably old keyboard, as once they get started, the emphasis is on the word Smash!
