Mr W (3y6m) got his first computer when he was 2.5 when he asked for one and was able to use my laptop independently.
I bought a $350 low end system at Fry's and loaded Ubuntu Linux on it. I got him a trackball because his fingers got tired with the touchpad/mouse.
He spends a lot of time on it using google and such. I set the search filter to the highest level and run the patches once a month.
He is mostly into computer games and starfall, but likes to search youtube for videos of stuff like cars, jets, and animals.
He is independently able to use DW's droid to make calls but still has some coordination issues when it comes to texting. He asked for a droid two weeks ago but we will get him a leappad instead.
