Hi again,
Thanks for the info.
On the changing nickname-- I did exactly that as you instructed...
I went to the sugar terminal and was successful in acquiring the parameters and learning the current nickname (incorrect one).
On the next line I typed in 
sugar-control-panel -s Sophia P.
then I hit contol alt erase
The screen scrolled a bunch of code and went blank and then came back to the homepage. As a second assurity I clicked on "reboot" and then even another time turned it off and on again but the nickname is still saying Sopha P (the incorrect spelling).
Seems like I must be another action required before I hit control alt erase? Or maybe my use of the period is tripping it up?
I did this whole action twice already but no go...
Not sure why I'm more concerned about the name and not the internet access (which also needs my attention) but I don't want to give her this terrific machine and have her first reaction be, "mom, it didn't spell my name right"

Thanks for everyone's help on this-- it looks to be an exciting time and I'm happy to be one of the first users.
