Pintaguay is one of the 6 programs included in this course :). There was also "Letraguay" a word processor, "Ordenata" a databese program, "Calculata" an excel-like program, "Multimedia" a program like PowerPoint for presentations and also (A few years later) "Webguay" for creating your own website :D. It also included other programs like: Lotus Approach, Lotus 1-2-3, Lotus Organizer, Lotus WordPro and Photofinish.

I got to admit, it was a very sweet collection of little programs for a kid circa 1996 :). Like, you could create your own magazine, VHS and cassette tape covers, make your own web and edit HTML, create movie databases, keep track of your expenses, create your own EBOOKS, calendars, greeting cards, animations, presentations, fairy tales... LIke, I can't enumerate all of them off the top of my head but you could do a lot!

Although I just had the first 3 disks of "Pintaguay" ^^U. I never had the complete collection. It's funny though because when my uncle got his first computer (A 386) I installed Pintaguay on his computer and at first he was a bit reluctant about it (It's a kids program, I don't want this) but he started using it to make covers for his VHS tapes of his music band :D. And then he lent the floppies to my other uncle and he started using Pintaguay too! hahaha. Aaaah nostalgia :).
