Actually I've taught her a bit of PDP-8 assembler but as responsible as she
is, she is still 8 and doesn't always treat things correctly when
unsupervised. Also I don't have any sort of graphics support for the PDP-8
so the C-64 seemed a good alternative. A couple of people have suggested an
Apple II, which would be ok as well, but the ability to use a C64 with a TV
is a win here as well.

Why not teach her assembler? Start from the bottom...
