In "Latest hot toy for tots: PCs", Mary Anne Ostrom at SiliconValley.com writes that "Valley parents are buying kids as young as 2 their own computers."

Well, it ain't just the Valley, kids. Last week I acquired a Power Mac 7100 (vintage 1994) to set up next to the Windows PC in our den. I did it because our two daughters, ages four and two, were beginning to argue about who got to use the single machine. My youngest likes to play JumpStart Baby, while her sister prefers Millie and Bailey Kindergarten or NickJr.com.

I'm now glad I moved my computer downstairs a couple of years ago.
