Even though the 3 girls , including the 5 year old , are quite computer smart when it comes to basics like looking for programs , songs and movies, they haven't learn t , nor I have not showed them, where the ''history and delete '' button is. So every couple of weeks while they are at school I do a check of what they were watching and then delete all history.
The one time I found Japan porn , Korean porn and soccer live results was the day after the brother in law had used the computer, so I told him , in front of his wife and sister that the internet company had sent me a e/mail asking why the girls were searching for porn on their computers and if it did not stop they would cancel the internet service. This caused such embarrassment it has not happened again.

Re: Is cable tv obsolete
Nope, sorry - can't verify this. OK, I'm living in Siem Reap and things might be different here, but in the past I have changed providers at least 3 times and principally it's always the same......they promise and promise and promise but you never get what you are paying for. Officially I have got a 2 MB line right now, but that what I get is different. I just did a speed test, it's 122.3 kb/s download and 1782.4 kb/s upload. Believe me, with that download speed it takes a while till you have a 1 gb movie downloaded.IraHayes wrote: I have a 4Mb line and a 3Mb line with OpenNet and they both speed test at 8.8 Mb.
1Gb just flies by and TV programs take, on average, about 10mins.
Und der Haifisch der hat Tränen
Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht
In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Träne fliesst
Und so kommt es dass das Wasser
In den Meeren salzig ist
Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht
In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Träne fliesst
Und so kommt es dass das Wasser
In den Meeren salzig ist
