Hi there, Just thought I'd chime in with my recommendations, based on use with my own daughter:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1803 (ProCon Latte) "ProCon is a content filter for the Firefox browser created by Corvineum, and based on BlockXXX (by Tom Christensen). ProCon filters any type of content on any web page. If left on default, ProCon limits itself to filter pages containing explicit content automatically, based on the text. ProCon can also be used as a profanity filter, and makes use of a whitelist - useful for trusted sites." http://procon.mozdev.org I use this Firefox extension with my daughter and can attest to it's effectiveness and ease of configuration out of the box. Cheers!

And as for my 3 daughters, they as of yet wouldn't know how to go around the browser. What is the deal with the dns thing. Keep in mind that im like cornel klink. I KNOW NOTHING!!

After that it is pretty easy to post to the website with a flash player (I know it is evil, but the code is open source at least).

I had to do some shopping around for one of these in my last job so I can offer some insights if you like. It was being used for board meetings & the price was actually pretty reasonable for the unit they did get. As an alternative, could we not jut get an mp3 player with recordability on it? I would imagine they would be pretty inexpensive for a one or two GB unit.

A Firefox add-on is a possibility. Here is one, but I have not tried it. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5881 Obviously, if your kid wants to avoid it, they will just open up another internet browser... boy, that takes me back. -Mark C. ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca End of clug-talk Digest, Vol 55, Issue 6 **************************************** _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
