Kids are tough on h/w, but I actually managed to wear out an Apple Pro mouse all on my own. I was taking one to work each day with my Powerbook and carefully wrapping it up and taking it home each night. It lasted about 8 months. Now I just leave the (replacement) mouse at work. >Nothing scarier than a 6-year old with >an autoinstall CD on a Win98 box, >answering "Yes" to everything... Ha! I can top that! How about a 3-year-old editing BIOS settings! ;) She also somehow managed to change all the Gnome menus to Italian (and it's surprisingly difficult to change them back if you don't know Italian). -Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "You can't brew a premium lager with a kool-aid mentality." --Harold Green in _The_Red_Green_Show_ -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
