[QUOTE="to_tough_to_die, post: 238738, member: 14019"] Can I say that, at least from a (high school-aged) kid's perspective, this is probably the thing not to do. Granted from time to time you can pop on and make sure he hasn't made a 60 gig partition on his hard drive devoted just to porn and illegal music, I don't reccomend going Big Brother on him. If I realized my parents were doing that, I'd not only be offended at their lack of trust, but a little angry. Let's face it, kids will be kids, the more you prohibit the more they'll do. Not to mention that he's probably figured out clearing the history, cookies, cache, etc. already. I tried that once... you'd be astounded at the people in my neighborhood who happily drive a $100,000 Mercedez home to their half-a-million dollar house and won't shell out $50 for the guy at Best Buy to secure their wireless network...
