I agree with mysteena here. I really do not understand what all the huffing and puffing is about. i don't see it implying that it would be for kids only it just says kid friendly. It doesn't say for kids only.
For my daughter it is one of the few ways we can read her writings. her handwriting is below grade level due to her fine motor skills being lower than they should be for her age. Her spelling is not great either but at least when it's typed I can read (for the most part)what's she's trying to say. She loves to write stories and pretty much no one can read them when they are hand written. So I let her use word to write her stories so that she can be creative. For her a computer is almost a necessity for that reason. She may only be starting 2nd grade but it's even something that's been in the list of recommendations after her testing was done. Her computers are usually hand me downs so I don't go buy her a brand new computer.
I've even heard of schools requiring their kids to have one in some grades. Not where I live but I've heard of it happening.
