Ask HN: Kids Computer

Tux Paint

This is going to depend on the age of the kid. I have given a cheap Laptop to my 6-year old and introduced her to Scratch[1] and Tuxpaint[2]. I let her use the mouse and keyboard more instead of tapping on a screen. The school is likely to introduce Scratch from next year. For older kids, they should be on a normal computer. My old MacBook Pro came handy for the elder one. She does the usual Python, games and stuff but she is not really interested in the computer aspect of computers. The one thing I want to make them learn is to touch-type but it is hard to convince them to do it regularly.
