I would expect any kid enterprising enough to break a laptop in order to get it upgraded -- to also be enterprising enough to "hack" the replacement to bypass any software restrictions. Only when the replacement (despite determined attack) cannot be made better than the original would the risk of kids "breaking their laptop" be diminished. mikus _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
