[Klug-general] Long time.....

[Jo Sharrad]

Even better if they are using Linux, we can but hope :-)

Awesome thing today, ok non-Linux but it is still computers, proud Mummy
moment.......

This was my daughter at just under a year learning hardware:

Now, today we were building a friend a new computer (Linux run obviously).
Daughter is now 2 1/2 years old and proudly says aloud and points out,
memory, hard drive, fans, CPU (ok she pointed at the heat sink/fan attached
to the CPU but come on she is only 2!), motherboard and graphics card. That
is just after 10 minutes of us discussing what we are doing and telling her
what things are.

Love children at this age they are just like a giant sponge! A giant
knowledge sponge!!!
