| | Wired News: The Mouse that Squeaked (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03) |
 | | To date, the Disney group has used Squeak to develop a pen device to replace a mouse for sketching, and an application where kids can draw a picture on a screen and then manipulate the image with "move," "scale," and "rotate" tools. |
 | | In the same way that Lego's Mindstorms robots introduce children to programming, Kay's Disney group wants to develop Squeak into a language that is equally accessible to children and adults. |
 | | Ingalls said that in its current version, Squeak could be used for "anything that's fun and exciting with music, graphics, sound, math, and the Internet." |
