Many families buy computer systems with their children's education and future in mind.
While a few parents get exactly what they expect from their new appliance, many do not. Some end up disappointed when they find their kids continuing to play with their video game consoles instead of the computer. Others are frustrated when they see their kids using computer games that are almost as mindless as Nintendo. And still others wonder if their children are spending too much time on the computer at the expense of other worthwhile activities. 2000 Discovery Communications, Inc.
