There WAS one computer with a modem in the library when I was in high school... it wasn’t until UI was in college that people started regularly using the Net... those booming late '90s, man, I tell ya... The idea was for the schools to hopefully use the program, not only to keep kids safe, but also to talk to kids about safety and the PARENTS!! In a few months, I will be checking in with all the folks we gave donations to. I am hoping to see and hear some great things!! Yeah, I am in the same age group as you.

I feel as though we need more education in the school system to help the young ones realize that there is a real life danger on the internet, and it is sexual scumbags. I know when I was in school, something like this was never even thought of. We only had internet access when I reached high school, so the idea of online sexual predator education or awareness was never an issue. Never has there been a better time then now though, to start increasing awareness, especially to technology-handicapped parents and grandparents. Also, I have a quick question. The schools that got the software were probably extremely happy to receive this software from your company. Are they now going to start to implement more programs to help teach the students about online dangers? I would hope that this software would springboard their efforts and start to use this software as just the beginning of a long-term education plan.
