What To Load On a 4-Year-Old's Netbook?

Posted by samzenpus on from the besides-plants-vs.-zombies dept.

nostrodecus writes "I have a nephew who is very young, but who has the techie gene — he found the Gruffalo on YouTube before anyone knew he could spell. Now he's almost 4, and I was thinking of giving him my netbook (Acer running XP), which I hardly use any more. So, of course, I will be deleting all the porn, but what should I load up on it? Are there tools/apps that I can load up on it to protect it and him from things he shouldn't see until college? Also, what apps or games could I load on it that a 4-year-old will get some use out of?"

    No mod points, sorry. But you deserve one in every category plus a few that they don't have yet.
