Hello,

	I'm in the market for a computer for a five year old.
I'm not sure whether a Macintosh or IBM compatible would be best.
The Mac seems to be more user friendly for young children, but
yet more children's software seems to be available for the IBM.
I was wondering if anyone could help me out or know of a particular
brand that would be good.

Thanks,
Andy
