I do plan to play with my kids with computers, and not just because there are kinds of activities that one can do with computers that are at least difficult otherwise. But I'm a big fan of young kids playing with physical objects, and computers lend themselves a bit more to passive entertainment than I'd like.
I'd been thinking of doing the "Buy One Get One" thing for the One Laptop Per Child project; it looks like a good idea for the charity that is in it, and the laptop itself looks like it would be hard (if not impossible) for Corwin (and, eventually, the twins) to break it.
Now, I'm a bit less sure.
