My 3 yr old has been wanting to use the computer a lot lately. I have let her experiment with it since she was able to sit up by herself. Ussually I just set up wordpad and make the test size huge and change the font color to whatever she wishes. Than she would pound away on the keyboard and say the ltters as they popped up. She's starting to want more and rally interested in the mouse, so I decided its time to take that next step. I'm setting her up with a compter of her own. (mainly because I'm tired of my desktop being totally thrashed every few days) I'v got an old Pentium 200, a 14" monitor, a mouse, now I just need to find a spare PS2 keyboard (that doesn't have broken keys) and I'm set.

she's about 9 months old in this picture with an old 486

Now for the good part, I discovered this website yesterday. There is a ton of software here, that I can start her out in and add more as she gets older. Check it out:
Owl Mouse Software

Now the only real problem left is to figure out how to fit her computer onto the desk.
