I've had teenage girls entertain themselves on my laptop (that sounds so dodgy, but we know what i mean ) They use a web-browser, and an IM prog... Nothing new here The only person who had trouble with my laptop, was the woman who downloaded lots of crappy games (for windows) as a "gift" for our son. She was upset that she couldn't get them to run. I wasn't at all upset by this deficiancy in my system. As a safe guard i have now banned her from using my comps. I pity those who run windows and have her come round. -- :D
