It's fairly reasonable considering some kids are getting PS3s and the CHEAP packages for those are like $600 and all those can do is gaming. Yes I said ALL. Computers (as others said) can be useful all around and you might find he likes doing homework on the laptop as he gets older, it certainly helps to have typing skills these days. *g*
My parents? Kept the attitude of 'of course you're getting a job when you're old enough' and unless there was something really specific such as lunch money, that was really my money and all I was getting for the most part in terms of spending (it wasn't a big job, once a week, think like babysitting) and despite my parent's afluence, I DID NOT KNOW until I was much older. This? Will not spoil him.
