RE: [OT] MSN Messenger

What we have done is create an office room in the house.



Basically it is like an open plan office - all the computers are in there
and we all work in the same room.



It works quite well and you are able to keep tabs on the younger people in
the house! The added advantage is you also get them used to working in an
office environment! A bonus when they come out and work surely?

I know where your all coming from... My 14 year old daughter  is exactly
the same - It may have something to do with not having to move your
finger 1 inch across and up a little...

Saying that - the way she has MSN customised now with little icons that
replace letter combinations or complete words makes it harder to read
still!! - drives me batty! Pink Bold scripty type fonts ARG! - All in
about 1 months usage!

She's never been very 'computer' orientated, at best she would have
googled for her latest 'rock group of the day' to get some lyric or
another... now its MSN every wakening moment -  the only thing that
gives the internet a break is eating - and that's only because she isn't
allowed to eat over the computer!

/me shuts up now...
