I solved that by placing the computers in the living room. OTOH at
some age its time to let go. Just make sure they know:
-do not talk to strangers
-do not accept gifts from strangers
-do not give your address ? phone number to strangers
-everyone on internet is a weird stranger with a chain-saw
HEY! I don't have a chain saw. Well, not yet. ;-)
I have an electric one, on a pole no less. Does that count ?:-)
