[comp.edu] QUESTION: Using a computer to help teach a child.

cml8@robin.cs.uofs.edu (Chris M. Little) (03/05/91)

A friend of mine asked me how he should go about introducing his 10-year-old
daughter to computers.  I'm not too well versed on this matter, so I'm asking
the comp.edu community.  My questions are:

(1) what is a good computer for this purpose? and,
(2) what are some good Math and languages packages that run on it?

Money really isn't too much of an issue here.  Any e-mail suggestions would
be greatly appreciated.  Thank you,
