What were they thinking? Was:Re: Linux and Football

I will keep that in mind, but I have a 3 year old boy who knows how to use a
mouse, type, and use Linux and Windows. So I have to admit they can learn
all their own pace. My son also likes tv, dancing, piano, guitar, cars,
trucks and trains. Oh yeah did I mention finger paint? He is quite astute
and no different than any other child with exception to his extreme temper,
yet he "loves" to learn!
