Never underestimate the ability of children to understand and use software
or computers. My kids have used Apple Works (then Claris works) since they
were 7 or 8. Took a bit of guidance from Dad, but it was a good learning
experience (for Dad!).
Now my grandson, who's 3, is amazing on a Mac or PC. He boots, draws and
colors, and surfs the web (well nickjr.com is his fave) with ease.
As far as email goes, I'd set up a separate email program (any would work)
with just her address.
