I would also be interested in copies of anything you might come up with. I
have a 4 year old very computer literate grand daughter. At home she has her
own PC and plays memory games and watches her DVD's on it. But when she
visits she looks at my Emate and says "Grandpa, that's just my size. Can I
play with it?" So I need something for her to play.

The eMate was targeted to the 5th grade level and higher. Some of the
software was for scientific instruments that attached through the
serial port. IIRC temp, pH and possibly others. The Graphing
calculator that shipped with the eMate is still an excellent tool.
Ther is a typing toutor and an authoring assistant and a few others.
I'll look into what I have. There may be a concentration game that
your 3 year old may like.
