keyboard, but she'll get the hwr thing going pretty soon, if i know her.
we're just starting to let her occasionally run a cable down the hall
and ethernet her 8600/200 onto the network, for limited supervised

why the browser demo was so interesting to her.
no chat or email tho, for a looong time!
