Well just buy a desktop from tescos then and use that, nows the time for her to learn, otherwise she might be stuck like the rest of the blind windows users.

To make things quite clear my granddaughter is cared for by my wife and myself so there is no distance factor. She has a very good monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc so I was contemplating buying just a box. If I got one the same as I use there would be no compatibility problems and she has a wireless link via my router for her internet needs. Additionally, she could have use of both a laser printer for her text work and a colour printer for any arty crafty stuff she wanted to do. As with lots of children the main difficulty to be overcome is being able to fire her interest sufficiently so that she will enjoy sitting at and using her computer. Without this, sitting on your own can be very off putting. I would hope that with email, internet and interesting software (she is already starting to be interested in Gimp) she will not need windows.
