Think kit

Downlad a copy of our Think kit educational resource. Information on the download is in the first column. Read across the row to find links to download the recommended version or alternative version.
Notes Download
Think kit is for Windows Operating Systems.

The download is a zip file that contains an ISO file.
Both Windows XP and Windows Vista have the ability to open/extract the content of ZIP files.

An ISO is a type of file containing all the information required to recreate an entire CD or DVD based on the ISO 9660 file system. To create a CD from the file you need a CD or DVD writer in your machine and some software to transfer (burn) the file to the CD writer.

Microsoft Windows can't burn ISO images without extra software. There are many CD-burner applications capable of burning ISO images, usually a burning program for Windows is provided with the drive. If you don’t have one contact your technical support department or use your favourite search engine to find them.

Think kit needs Adobe Acrobat Reader and Apple QuickTime Player to be installed on the machine that runs it. If they are not installed, the required installers are included on the CD.
