THE NEXT BILL GATES

This is a warning to all parents of pre-teens/teens out there. Just because they act, talk, and look like they know what they're doing on a computer, don't fall for it for a second! It will only be a matter of time before they turn your high dollar investment into a low tech "paper weight". Granted, my skills are extremely limited in this area. So when my oldest son decides to really lock it up, I have to head to the local computer store experts to restore my sanity. Usually they do this before I go too far postal on my future Internet hacker! But this seems to be happening on a more regular basis. His few dollar a week allowance doesn't pay for the gas to the repair shop, and taking away computer rights only allows him more time to think up other ways to terrorise my wife and I. So my choices are military school, or buy myself a new computer and give him the old one. Since I have grown attached to the little computer murderer, (and his mother already said I can't send him), military school is out. So the search is on for a new computer. Then put the new toy as far away from him as possible. Then when he locks up again "and he will". Hire per mar to run security to enforce the restraining order I will have already taken out! On a biking note, I had a great memorial day "biking" weekend. No I did not race, but put on a hundred plus miles while camping with family and friends. I have some cool pictures to post once I get that capability back on my computer................Ty
