First of all, thanks for making eSanta. It has added one more year to the magic time during which my kids still believe in Santa Claus. I have just a couple recommendations, though. First, Santa definitely needs to remember to run his spell-checker before sending his letter next year. My third grader only needed one read of her letter to pick out "suprise." Second, I was disappointed not to be able to use the program on my wife's original iBook, which has a maximum screen resolution of 800x600; the "submit" button is hidden below the edge of a screen on such a small display, and in Mac OS X there is no way to move a window's title bar above the top edge, as is possible in classic Mac OS. Finally, it would be nice if, after clicking "Send email to Santa," there was a confirmation dialog box offering the option to cancel--I stupidly hit Return instead of Tab before finishing my 5-year old's letter, and had to use some diversionary tactics while I waited until the 'contacting Santa' routine completed before I could return to her letter to finish. All in all, a really wonderful piece of software.
