The best form of education for any child or adult does NOT directly involve computers. She will havecomputers pushed upon her soon enough, no need to rush it.I second that. My 3-year-old son built a computer for himself by drawing a keyboard on a donut box with crayons. He's 'worked' on his computer many times since then. He's provided detailed explanations from him about whatthe various buttons do.If you must, to keep her off your keys, just give her an old keyboard.Let her imagination provide the rest of the computer.Another good idea. Keyboards are easy to get at goodwill if you don't already have a spare. Plugging the cord into a cardboard box helps getthings rolling. ---------------------------------------------------I had an electronics set when I was a kid, something like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000683A4?ie=UTF8&tag=joshzeid-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0000683A4but not exactly... thats how I learned the basics of logic which ledto BASIC, Apple II Assembler, AP Computer Science, and a BS in Computer Science. -jmz -- http://www.google.com/profiles/jjzeidner http://www.joshuazeidner.com/ --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss--A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you fromrolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
