I have cable split to all the machines...but the kids have come to know AOL as "the internet"...as far as they're concerned. This way...the overzealous screening software in aol will generally keep them fram accessing the "aites" in question. 9.95 bring your own access plan.

I'll remember that, next time I'm asked a similar question re the kiddies a growin up in our Puritanism+Violence culture - while we try to shield them from the obvious depravity of the adultlets they'll eventually have to abide. (But how.. can we ever prepare them to survive Bizness Ethics 101A - the 10 minute course with Pass/OK-Pass-Anyway grading ?) Seems to come down to: invent software ~ AOL, debug, test (for all those M$ loopholes), install and maintain against each new Broken Windoze MErde Edition OR fer measly $10/mo: let AOL be The Nanny! Well, BeeP - even I have to admit that sometimes.. thinking Economist thoughts can save ya a bundle of pain and suffering. (Well.. at least re the CS little stuff; it's the Big Stuff where I shall have to remain recalcitrant, since that's where the Power-full always have room for a little More in their maws - there is no Full on That gauge. You understand ;-) Thanx, A.

La traducci\ufffdn esta aqui: In el primero instancia - Sorry.. no imputation of mindwashing by AOL generally (unless one imagines MSoftie-like condescension and frippery to have cumulative effects upon the psyche ?) Another thread. All I meant was: Good Idea! And agree - with all its warts and Disneylandesque format (to us Advanced ones), AOL seems a winner for exactly what you said - Nanny for kids. Apparently it's much harder to duplicate their filtering, and on a toy OS especially (?) - so why try? While I imagine that we can't shield the cheeldrun from our daily depravities.. much, I'd certainly agree that we ought to try to keep them away from the pits of our more maudlin fantasies - a while longer. \ufffdVerdad? Lo siento para el doscognizado. (er sorry about the cognitive dissonance) Juan Ashton Escamillo
