| What do you parents think the best computer would be for a 6 yo boy? He uses one at school in a very limited way and he gets on ours and messes things up. I was thinking a computer he could grow into instead of any toy computer. Thanks, Paul |

| Are you anywhere close to an Apple Store? The one near me has an entire section set up for kids and parents-with-kids to play with what they have available and see whether or not it's what they may have had in-mind for this kind of thing. I'm an old guy. Personally, I don't know anything about it. All I'm saying is I've seen the set-up there and all their stuff is up and running all the time and there are always kids playing with it. I am a 6+ year Mac-switcher so I do have that bias. |

| Well perhaps you should think about what you want him to do on the computer ? At this age, I think it is important to have some software that is worthwhile to use, and not a waste of time. Perhaps more investigation as to what he is doing at school on their computers. When my children were little it was always a struggle for me to balance the time on the computer with outside play and imaginative play. I would advise strict guidelines when you introduce him to his own computer. Also think about friends coming around and how they will all sit there together using the computer. |
