[lug] FW: In The Register

[Mr Viggy]

Heh, I agree.  And, to that end, ever since my daughter could walk, I've 
allowed her to play on the computer.  She's just starting 5th grade, and 
she teaches the computer teacher at her school how to change the 
settings.  Granted, she's using a Mac at school; but the Windows OS and 
the Mac OS are similar enough for her to figure out what she needs to do!
