Yes, I agree, be we also want to give him some sense of privacy so
this machine is in his room. He's been using my wife's Windows box to
surf the web for homework, etc., but she wants him off now that he
sits and chats with girls for an hour every evening.

We're not against him growing up. We just want it to be safe. The San
Jose Merc yesterday had a front page article on this stuff. We gave
him the article to read. He was shocked...

thanks,
Mark
