I suspect that many of the parents in our target demographics don't have the luxury of spending a lot of quality time with their kids.

In addition, this might be an easier solution: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1803 Haven't tested how good it is and it's probably easily by-passed. But at least it's something. BTW, in the process of searching, I found this blog: http://www.webpronews.com/blogtalk/2006/02/24/teenagers-plotting-parental-control-workarounds Thought this quote was interesting, although I question it's validity: "Another scenario that should concern Microsoft is the proliferation of Linux. For example, one teen when told about the Parental Controls immediately explained she would pop in a Linux distribution and be done with Microsoft." Regards, - Robert
