Assuming LanMan hashing hasn't been disabled in favor of NTLanMan and that the password is 14 characters or less, it is that simple. It'll take a few hours with a complete set of rainbow tables, or L0phtCrack can do a alphanumeric password in a day or two.
Back in the day, Windows 95 and 98 upgrade discs would ask for proof of your previous installation - but you good point the file browser to the WIN9x directory on the upgrade CD itself to do so.
If writing is actually not being used enough so that kids can't write, why do we need it? And cursive in the first place isn't that great of an idea. Go read someone else's printed writing. Now go try to read their cursive. Hard, isn't it? It seems to me that if cursive is needed, it will still be learned, and if it isn't needed, you'll just forget it anyway. I actually don't use cursive anymore except for my signature. I don't need it, and nobody else can read it anyway.
I've also used one, and they are actually pretty nice. *waits for boos, hisses, and "He's a M$ rep!" to be over* It's light, you could hold it on your arm like writing on a clipboard for quite some time. The stylus is a little annoying at first, for a few reasons: you have to press a little harder than you do with pencil and paper, and there's a little button on the side, like on Clickster mechcanical pencils, that opens up the right-click menu. Once you get used to it, it's fine. One other problem is clicking. It's hard to double click with the stylus because if you press hard enough for it to recognize, you're going too slow. Again, once you get used to it, it's fine. The writing recognition software didn't like my handwriting very much, but no one can read my handwriting and it converted my friend's just fine. The swivel screen seems like it would be a tad fragile, but most people aren't going to be throwing their laptops around anyway. One thing that I liked on the screen is that you can orient it whichever way you like, so the easier side to grab can be by your hand whether you're right- or left-handed. All in all, you're probably not going to like it much if you just need to jot down a phone number once in a while. For taking notes in a class though, or a meeting, it could be really great.
Yeah, I've installed Win 2K, and I didn't have nearly as many problems as he did. Only had to reboot 2 or 3 times and never changed CD's. (Duh, only one CD.) One problem I did have is Windows not liking my network card, but a reboot fixed that.

As opposed to keeping them hidden, I believe the parent means.
