The OM2000 is probably a better camera for learning than the OM-10. The OM-10 
is an aperture priority automatic only camera, unless you add the manual 
adapter, which works but is a bit of a kludge, IMHO. The OM2000 is manual 
only (better for learning, again IMHO), and also includes spot metering. I 
believe the specs for the OM2000 specify that you can't use the 600mm and 
1000mm lenses, probably due to vignetting in the finder, otherwise all Zuikos 
are OK.

If you've been reading this list long enough you'll realize that the correct 
solution is to give her your OM-2S and go out and buy a new OM-4Ti for 
yourself. Another option would be to get her a used OM-1.

Hope this helps,
