- Yep, I suppose it's Commodore's fault for putting the on/off power button
- on the A3000 in the front where small child can toggle easily, or the
- floppies drives up front too where small child can stick all sorts of
- things in. And of course it's Commodore's fault for making the Workbench
- so easy to use, so that small child can move files and drawers around,
- and happily click on everything. And not to mention hot-keys! Omigod!
- Small child can easily trash the commodoties. Better to be like the
- SUN Sparc on my desk at work, where small child got bored immediately
- and went onto playing with filing cabinets and bookshelves.

- I can't wait until we move to a bigger place and hide the 3000 in a
- study and revive the 500 in the playroom for small child to rummage
- around on. I supposed I'll put in a small hard drive for him, though.
