My daughter (now nearly 24 - ouch!) started "computing" at age 2.5, sitting on my lap and playing "Hodge Podge" on my old ][+. Now she is an Admin Assistant for a Research Doctor at Dartmouth College. Her boss said last week, "She sure knows her way around computers." She just replaced her Wallstreet G3 with a TiBook. All of the machines in my "Stack-o-Macs" (about 60) can't keep up with that thing.
