A fairly simple password will prevent a toddler from doing interesting things to the system. There are CPU guards you can install to prevent accidental use of the power button on the computer. http://www.onestepahead.com/jump.jsp?itemID=68767&itemType=PRODUCT&lGen=detail&iMainCat=117&iSubCat=27181&iProductID=68767&change=117 or http://tinyurl.com/2mu48 And depending on the kind of power strip you use, there may be something to protect that, as well. http://www.onestepahead.com/jump.jsp?itemID=27181&itemType=CATEGORY&iMainCat=117&iSubCat=27181&page=5&change=117 or http://tinyurl.com/3feld Of course, if the cat isn't the problem and the computer is, there's no catproofing (or even mere catresisting) advice I can offer. :) Julia _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
