[QUOTE="BIG D 04, post: 342366, member: 21762"] Well I'm sure you can tell I'm not a Parent, anyways I have the nice job of showing my Little Sister the ways of the Computer World and to be honest I think the Fact I'm using a Mac, She has Windows in School has gave her the ability to realise the benefit in different Systems. Like someone said previously avoid trying to pigeon hole your Children in the end all they will need for a few years anyway is programs where they can create custom images, documents etc and these kind of programs will work across the board. Maybe get a Mac and Get Parallels that way he/she can have the best of all worlds. I'm actually getting my Sister a Laptop but she will still be using my Mac in the Future as she enjoys using it. Thats my theory on it, I was disappointed that I never had access to a Mac until I was 18, I kid you not, So I wouldn't be up for suggesting the same thing for your child. Also if you can introduce them to Linux (obviously down the line) the more experience using different programs and different OS's the more the benefit. btw All we had in Schools was PC's from Start to Finish (Windows 3.1 ftw!!)
