True, but it's their computer. I'm just thinking ahead of myself I guess. By the time the boys are smart enough to start hacking, we'll be using Longhorn at least or hopefully the next generation after it. And my nephew wasn't doing anything malicious beyond proving to my daughter that he could figure out her password; the 10yo vs the 11yo. Which is where the account lockout feature of Pro would have come in handy.

I get the idea that you're trying to tell us that getting old is hell & you won't get any argument from me.

It's not exactly hell yet. <LOL> But let's see...I didn't start using a computers until high school and they were AppleII+ AppleIIe machines. The kids are growing up with them, so chances are they will someday pass me up. I'm already amazed by how much my kindergartener knows.
