want to teach son to use computer

I’m looking for software recommendations to teach my son to use the computer. Things like games or paint (Not MSPaint). Anything that other parents have used and have had success.

forgot to mention that it should be games for a 2.5 year old so no GTA

Okay.
If your son has sufficient fine motor coordination there are pre-school programs for kids : http://softwareforkids.com/children-...preschool.html
You may also need a large trackball he can use instead of a mouse.

A word of warning; all the experts take a very dim view of this and while some think it has it's uses they all say that it should be brief.
