I'm fairly sure NetNanny, along with word and image web filtering, can do timed controls. -----Original Message----- From: Jennifer Hooper [mailto:jennifer.hooper@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 23 June 2004 21:24 To: 'windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [windows2000] Re: OT - home usage I agree fullheartedly. Unfortunately, there may be extenuating circumstances, and too many times I have seen this. There *are* software packages out there that do this: http://www.akrontech.com/ http://www.softpedia.com/public/cat/14/7/14-7-64.shtml among others. I know that there is a token based system out there, having read about it in CNet, but I can't find it. That part, she's probably going to have to put in the creative effort.

It is a forgotten technology, but when used properly works great.

She has two kids who use the computer too much in her opinion. She was wondering if there was a way to setup something similar to a token system whereby she could grant the children time on the computer based on the tokens they earned. I told her that anythng like that would be too cost prohibitive but said that I would ask.
