Scratch is a new programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and share your creations on the web.
Scratch is designed to help young people develop 21st century learning skills. As they create Scratch projects, young people learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also gaining a deeper understanding of the process of design
Scratch is developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab, in collaboration with the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, with financial support from the National Science Foundation, Intel Foundation, and MIT Media Lab research consortia.
It is available free of cost at their site but for those of you nuts about downloading from rapidshare, here you go.

System requirements for Scratch:
Display:
1024 x 768 or larger
OS:

Mac OS X 10.3 or later
Disk:
at least 120mb of free space to install Scratch (see note below)
The CPU speed and memory requirements have soft limits. Most computers have enough memory to run Scratch. Older computers may run Scratch slowly, but it will run.
To take advantage of sound ouput and input, you need speakers (or headphones) and a microphone. Many laptops have speakers and microphones built in.
Note: Scratch comes with a large media library and a collection of Sample projects. If you have very limited disk space, you can delete the "Media" and "Projects" folders from the Scratch folder.

Uploading at 30kbps is a pain but its worth it in the end.
A simple thank you would suffice
