Timer / alarm clock /calendar/ distributed time sharing application/ stop dinking with computer go get exercise -- I know that the kids I have lent it to had a hard time sharing.

Cut EyeCandy

animated help -- with text -- words (maybe stick figures or

Rosetta Stone like language application. (very data intensive to have it on CD, but a lot should fit on a 4GB SD card (this program isn't free of course)

Pippy panels switchable to help, or reference instead of list of programs.
