Default Bringing Up A New Generation...

My youngest son is in pre-kindergarten and this week is the letter "I" week at school. Tomorrow they have to bring in a picture of something that starts with the letter I. Most kids will bring in a picture of ice cream or maybe an igloo. Not my son. As soon as he got home he grabbed my copy of Pocket PC Magazine off of the table and said "This mommy, I want to take this." My wife picked it up and looked at it. "Gage, what begins with the letter 'I' on this?"

"Right there, iPAQ."

I couldn't possibly be more proud!

Time will soon pass to when he says, "What was that old thing you had that I played with.." :wink:

Default precedent

This could be an expensive precedent Ed if you keep up the education. My wife and children started demanding my hand-me down Pocket PC devices. Besides my wife, my three oldest children now all have Pocket PCs and my oldest child is 11 (other two are 9 and 8 respectively).

It is becoming a real family affair. I even gave my kid brother in college (senior pre-med) a Pocket PC and a stowaway for note taking in his classes.

Why not? They're just pictures. And it's not like the pictures are out of certain magazines that generally inhabit the top shelves of magazine racks.

You could teach him to surf all the PPC sites. Maybe he can take over your job !
