Best distribution for an infant :)

[Alan Dayley]

Suggestion: Don't give her a computer.  The best form of education for
any child or adult does NOT directly involve computers.  She will have
computers pushed upon her soon enough, no need to rush it.

If you must, to keep her off your keys, just give her an old keyboard.
 Let her imagination provide the rest of the computer.
