Re: KDE EDU

I use KStars on a regular basis (beside a very small pocket book of stars).

Why do I use such an "irrelevant" application? Well I like astronomy and I love the dark night sky with the milky way across my head. It is a shame that most people even don't know how the night sky looks like cause of light pollution.

Ever wanted to fetch the stars from the sky for a girl? ;-) Previous to your next date with a girl run Kstars and look for some romantic things you can show her later...

So how can you think that Kstars is a children-only application, how can you think that none uses it seriously?

Ah and thee are some much more edu-software. A quick function plotter such KmPlot (provided by KDE-Edu) can safe your day if you have to do some math (but don't have expensive complicated expert apps like Maple/Matematica around).

Or the vocabulary trainer or or...

I'd even say many of the apps are educational apps primarily designed for adult persons and not for kids, because they don't have a silly "kindergarden user interface".

So go and actually test these apps. You will be surprised that they're totally different from your expectations.
