amusing how it is nearly always someone in the in-group making this decision, that everyone else does not need or deserve access to something but i do as a member of this group. tale as old as plato “discovering” the ideal form of government was a bunch of philosophers telling everyone else what to do.

To be in the 'in' group you could always invest the time and learn how to use computers. We're actually a pretty welcoming bunch :)

How can my kid learn if she's not allowed to have a (non-"appliance", general purpose) computer in the first place?
