  Given your needs, you might consider a Commodore 64 (or 128). It runs
a good version of Logo, and Bank Street Writer.  Throw it away 
and buy IBM or whatever when kid gets to high school---total cost of 
Commodore system is probably less than depreciation on IBM or Apple
over a few years, and they may be using more powerful machines by 
that time.
