Jonathan is fixing Kyle's computer. Therefore, Kyle is using our computer. He is playing an online game that uses lots of memory. Our computer now easily freezes up.
I know this conversation. I have been through it with four previous sons. No, it's not anything I'm doing. It's not this game that's causing the freezing up. Must be something else. Not me.
Do I even want to get into this conversation again? Sigh.
I hear you, AVI. Our home computer didn't start working right until our daughters got their own laptops sometime in high school. And daughters don't usually embrace on-line games the way boys do!

There are ways to keep children (or employees) from doing anything that would hurt the system. However, on most Windows-based systems, such methods also make the system nearly unusable. (Especially for the kinds of things kids like to do on a computer.)
