I've avoided facebook entirely. Lately I've been thinking of signing up if only to have a 'holder' account so nobody else signs up on my behalf. Having never used the app, I'd be curious to know exactly what lessons you taught your family. Is it a case of: - Don't install apps. - Don't post about private stuff (like our home address) - Don't accept invites just to be polite. Only accept them from people you really do want to connect with? Or is there something more to it than that? > When she needs to connect to the odd open wireless access point, ssh to > our home network, and proxy her web browsing through it, she can still > call me ;-) Wow, I wish my wife was even remotely that tech savvy. -D _______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com
