I believe you can have more than 4 spaces - thought I saw it in the demo video (btw - if you didn't see it, you should - it's very well done IMO - check out Apple's web site), and my 13yr old daughter loves spaces too - even though she doesn't use it for "work" - she does use it for school work, (more than I thought she would - happy dad :domn: ). She keeps it simple but effective (thus learning the basic intent) by using one space for email, one for Safari, one for..., uh, I forget (but you get the pont), and she keeps one blank. She (& I) also love the way the files fan out like on the iphone - I think once we get used to it we'll find it much better than the current windows-like system.

She doesn't have a camera, but the backgrounds for ichat look pretty cool too - the problem is all her friends need the hardware too for that to be fun. Overall we're impressed, but I have to admit, I'm more impressed with the now-2yr-old G4 I bought her - what an impressive little machine - wow. I'm thinking of getting my son a Mac for Xmas now...
