I don't know exactly what you have in mind, but I very much agree that the 
options screen needs an overhaul. I've been meaning to look into this myself 
but have been busy, but I would be happy to help as much as I can & where I 
can be useful. Are you still thinking that there might be a separate GUI for 
setting the more "advanced" options, as well as for determining which options 
will be kid-settable?

Our elementary school seems interested in tuxmath---my oldest daughter's 
teacher asked her about her rapid progress on her math facts, and she 
attributed it all to tuxmath. (Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks 
again to all developers!) I'll be demo-ing the program to her teacher soon, 
and can use the opportunity to collect feedback on anything that any of you 
would like to ask.

Our elementary school is Mac OSX-based; does anyone know the status of the Mac 
build? I don't have a Mac to test it on myself...

Best,
--Tim
