Slightly off topic but I'm looking for a laptop as well.  An old
thinkpad would be great.  My 5 year old niece is showing a strong
interest in computers (she hates sharing the mac with her father) so I
told her I'd get her a laptop for Christmas.  We agreed that it must be
pink and run Linux.  I would also like it to be inexpensive.  First
thought was used thinkpad (I could paint it or put a big sticker on it)
or netbook.

Thanks for any tips.
