Recommended Laptop Configuration for a 13 year old?
hey all,
I'm going to be handing my old HP Compaq nc6000 laptop to my 13 year old step daughter and I was wondering if there are any recommended configurations out there from the Thoughts family.
Here's what I know:- I haven't decided whether to go through the tedium of upgrading it to Vista. What is more probably is will have XP Home or Pro.
- I will probaby give her a User level account and her Mom an admin account.
- Virus scanner (nod32) is a definite.
I know that her mom wants to be able to periodically check the computer to see what kind of activity her daughter has been doing. I figure betweem the two accounts she should be covered there. However, with the introduction of the In-Private browsing in IE8 I'm not sure if that becomes a hole in the whole setup.
You thoughts?
