Re: Internet "security" inquiry

[Tim Collier]

I've "heard" that AOL is quite good at content filtering.  You can set 
all the restrictions that you feel appropriate for a child that age.  
Of course there is no system that is absolutely safe.  The best way for 
any child to experience the internet is with a parent at his/her side.  
THAT is the ultimate in parental controls.

Hi there, me again. Now that my son is 12 and doing a good deal of

Okay, okay, please calm down.
Does anyone have any recommendations, pro or con, for software or 
services
or whatever that would help with keeping him from going places he 
shouldn't?
I am well aware that the best filter is really parental involvement and
presence, but unfortunately the computer is in the basement and out of
general view. We're on a B&W G3 using 9.1 and IE 5.1 if that makes any
difference. As always, my thanks for your input.
Exterminate all rational thought.
