Thank you? You think I want my kid to turn out like you. Should I buy him some Dungeons and Dragons gear as well?
I am kidding!
I am basically giving him an old 486...it is an old iMac that I grabbed from the office after we upgraded.

Be sure to give the little tyke something with a web browser and a speedy Internet connection so that he can check out the Asian Girls appreciation thread. Need to start 'em early....

For the record, I never role-played or dressed like a D&D freak.

For a six-year-old, I'd buy him a webkinz ($8-$15) and let him go to town on http://webkinz.com
He can play for a year on just the purchase of the stuffed animal, and they have dozens of games in a pretty closed environment.

I wouldn't. I don't think the games are very intellectually stimulating. Plus, the whole premise is that the kids compete to get virtual money so they can "buy" worthless ****, and then compete with their friends to see who has the most useless ****. They'll learn that soon enough without encouraging it through something like webkinz. If you're going to go that route -- and there are a variety of similar sites -- I've found Club Penguin to be marginally less lame. The Apple Store carries a series called the "Mia's Big Adventure Collection", which are focused on reading development. My daughter enjoyed a couple of those. She also played a Math Blaster (I don't recall the exact name) game we got at the Apple Store for quite a while, too. There are also some good art-oriented programs -- drawing, "painting", etc.

My little brother loved the Putt Putt and Freddy Fish games when they came out. Personally, I was a big fan of the TLC Super Solvers games, but that was in the 486 days
I fuckin loved this game, you have to figure out science and math problems to open doors. You basically do that and walk around a factory looking for parts to build cars and planes and stuff. The goal being to build the fastest in the class that you are building then win a race.
