We have 2 1/2 year old boy who has the usual amounts of cars, trains and typical boy-type toys - he likes to play with these physical things, but there's nothing he loves more than hacking away on a keyboard to make pretty pictures, or playing any one of the number of games we've purchased for him. We started him out on the Leapfrog system; with interchangable books and cartridges, it kept him amused for around 6 months. Then we moved him to the PC, with Jumpstart Baby - we used this for our previous child as well, and they've both mastered mouse and basic keyboarding skills, plus they love it! Now he's playing Thomas the Tank Engine, and all different sorts of edutainment titles. He loves every minute of it. He's also quite adept at playing racing car games on my Xbox - sometimes better than me, I might add (although this tends to be when I'm not paying attention, or thinking about beer (as in free))!
My wife and I were introduced to technology early as well, and we've excelled in our chosen IT-based careers from it, and hope that the early learning that we can provide to our children gives them the added abilities to excel as well.
Use technology where you can, they'll thank you for it just like you did to your parents.
For anyone trying to download the stash; try downloading each body part as a seperate file and then using MS Paint to piece them all together. So far I have eyes, nostrils and hair (not nasal hair though). I'm willing to swap these for any interesting body bits...
I mean, it's not one of those E=MC2 things on paper, or is it? Come on, you can tell me, there's no-one else around, it's just you and me at the restaurant at the end of the universe...
The only people that I know that use the password protect feature in Word are the sort of people that think locking their doors at night will keep the bad guys out - it ain't so...
I've used Digital Certificates to protect the authenticity of Word documents for some time now, and it's a failsafe method.
Are you patting your leg and crying out "Here boy!"? I find that usually works. You might have to wait a while for it to find its way back to you though;)

With so many different builds of Android, these issues may or may not exist on other phones..

Ahh yes, but some of the girls may not be girls, which may not matter depending on how many drinks you've had...

We'll have none of that computer stuff around here, thank you very much. Mine was an abacus...
I'm sure I saw this yesterday on Slashdot!
I'm recovering from Dengue Fever, and I can think of nothing better than sending them into oblivion.

Nah mate, you need one of these for your EX wife!
What, you mean I don't get paid per line of code I write?
all your girlfriends are belong to us...
D'oh!
Well that ain't nothin. Mine says "All your base are belong to us"... Is that a good thing?
Mebbe they'll bring back Virgil and TB-2 :)
Go Virge!
They thought it was mud, but it was actually - beer!
Ahh, that was that 127.0.0.1 site wasn't it?
Like, you've actually seen this happen, right?

It may in other parts of the world, but not here in Australia. I think only cola-based drinks are allowed to have it here.
At least I know why everyone (except us) drinks it in quantity now!
What's that? A new medication?
