littlenemo Report post Posted January 18, 2006 i'm not letting a 6 year show me up because he is brilliant on it: Why not - the rest of us get shown up by our kids on the computer every day. My son Com terrified me when he was 2 and a half by coming in and saying "Daddy there was a bomb on your computer (the bomb symbol was the early Mac icon when the system froze). But I fixed it." And he had! The system had crashed so he'd shut down and rebooted the computer, found and relaunched the game he'd been playing and played it for 10 minutes before he came and told me Computers are second nature to some AS kids. Oh, and by the way, welcome. If you have any problems or questions that are AS related, you'll find the answers here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathryn Report post Posted January 19, 2006 I think all children have that familiarity with computers that we never had. Both my children are completely fearless around them. I was in my 5th year at university before I even used a word processor! Welcome, lainey, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
