Go with the EeePC. It would be perfect for a child do learn on. It is very durable in the case it is dropped and the tiny keyboard would probably be perfect size for those little fingers.
I bought one for my son and it has greatly increased his interest for computers without reformatting mine.
Greenpeace's strategy isn't really bad. Sure, they're picking on a big company for publicity, but whatever effects are the result of greenpeace's research will trickle down into the factory floors of their component suppliers having a much larger effect.
I totally disagree. Greenpeace is a great organization, but they are known for picking fights with big name corporations just to boost publicity. I think Apple is not going to listen anyway. Steve Jobs has stated before that he is not intimidated by GP and they could at least be more tactical about careless accusations.
