I put mine to work during their study hall. They get a machine level administrator password but no network administrator privileges. Helps a lot to have a kid that can run around and trouble shoot, kill bugs, and do installs. Requirement is that they have to keep at least a "C" in courses. That has been my bugaboo for the past two years. None of the three I had working can keep their English grade above a "D".

He is now at the U of I and just completed an internship with Microsoft in Redmond. He works at the Best Buy Geek Squad and can be seen on Channel 3 News' Gadget Guy segment. Smart kid.
