Thanks. I will try to look up which ones of those are blocklists vs content filters, and pass the info along. > 1) MacOS X Leopard http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/parentalcontrols.html Yeah, if they wanted all of my recommendations, i'd definitely recommend Mac or Linux over MS-Windows. 2) Computer location (in the most traffic'd area of the house) Strongly agree - that will be a key strategy in my household when my daughters are internet-using age. > 3) Subtle, unobtrusive and complete monitoring of child's activities, > keystrokes, surfing You'd use a keylogger and logging proxy? or something else in mind... > 4) Ability to control computer use and network use independently of > each other By means of software, hardware, and/or family policy? > 5) Secure passwords and hints regarding a users password Yeah, convincing people that the children should have separate, unprivileged user accounts... > 6) The understanding that no matter what I do it does not remove my > parental obligations nor can any software / hardware anticipate future > improvements such as wifi enabled DS's etc. Browser mobile + TOR, ... > 7) Constant communication with my child (even if all you get is a ping) YES. OK, i'll quit quoting your whole message, and say thanks again! /Randall
