Actually Paul I have found that two year olds can do an excellent job in de-programing the Crest Revolution controllers based on personal experience. I can make one available if you wish to supplement the five year olds!
The younger you get them started, the more interest they will have in later life.
Just made my reservations…looking forward to this. We sure have had a lot of fun up there…at the Invasion
I better get my reservations in too, at the Starwood Abbey Bed and Breakfast, though I’ve yet had Fr. Fred offer to cook me breakfast…(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
