A friend was asking me advice yesterday (being the local techie-guy he
knows) about getting a computer for his kids to use, and about making
it safe on the Internet and all that guff.

It made me think that this could be an interesting topic for a 15
minute presentation at MXUG.  Anybody think they might find this
interesting?

I thought we could either have someone do a usual presentation if they
have some expertise (or know someone they could invite in to talk on
the subject), or the other alternative would be to have it like a 20
minute panel type format with four or five willing participants to sit
up the front and share their experience, opinions, etc.

I would be willing to be a panelist, and/or facilitator to keep it on
track.

What do people think?  Are there enough MXUG members who are parents
or would otherwise be interested?
