I was going to buy a Mac Mini for my wife and son (he'll be 4 next month), so we could all test out the Mac OS. Our son is very comfortable on the PC, is great with a mouse, and loves playing games on some of the pre-school oriented websites (like DisneyChannel.com, Noggin.com, etc).
Well, it was mentioned in another thread that a Mac might NOT be the best choice for a small child, since kids in school are using PCs -- not Macs.
The more I thought about this, the more it concerned me. After all, the LAST thing I want to do is put my son at a DISadvantage because he uses a Mac instead of a PC. I'd hate for him to be lagging behind the other kids because they are used to using a PC at home.
Obviously this is a decision I need to make myself, but I'm looking for advice and opinions FROM OTHER PARENTS THAT HAVE SWITCHED. And PLEASE be honest with me...
P.S. -- Since I already know that DEVILBOY will tell me not to get a Mac, there's no need for him to post. ;-)
