Bandai Digital Entertainment is partnering with Microsoft to produce browser, email, and chat software designed for children 6 to 14 years of age. Surf Monkey, whose animated title character flies a spaceship as the user surfs, will monitor chat, email, and Web sites for sexually explicit and other adult content. The browser will cost $24.95.
