No, I’m not calling India a dummy. I’m referring to the “computer” I rigged up for my daughter, who really wants to play computer games like her big brother. However, every time I let her sit down to the computer, she would bang on the keys and move the mouse like a toy car, which usually resulted in opening files, prompting printer boxes, and any other number of right-click functions that threatened to crash the computer. Not to mention, her brother didn’t like being kicked off his game only to watch her terrorize the hard drive.
I finally figured out a solution that makes everyone happy, and cost me about $15 total ($3 for a monitor splitter and a trip to a few garage sales for old computer parts.)
For those of you who always ask me how I find time to blog, this is how! Let’s hope India doesn’t figure out the ruse anytime soon.
Hey Chic-
Can you please email me your mailing address out there on the left coast (a dorky John McHoul saying) — thanks!
