I think you people are cutting off the child here.  I started with a 8086
4.77 MHz PC when I was 8 and almost 10 years later I'm soaring to new
heights that I could never have obtained on a Mac.  I'm studying to become
a CNE (Certified Novell Engineer), I do contract programming, and more! 
I'd recommend a PC, it allows the child to explore more.
