Burton".osbunorth Kevin, I dunno. My older child, a girl, had an Apple in her kindergarten class. Those kids were active computerniks, the boys mostly. And I know, since these boys are my daugther's playmates, that they are (1) able to open up a system, and (2), not yet ready to learn about the difference between logic and memory. Some observations: If a school wants kids to learn, they can buy cheap kits from Intel and others. Second, all these discussions must be qualified by the age of the child. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't have different models for different grade levels. Enough on this. Phil Burton, Xerox Corp.
