My kids are only 3 and 6, but my 6 year old son has his own computer in his room, including cable broadband connection. I don't think it's being spoiled-computers are part of life now and kids need to know how to use them.

Software based parenteral control (as well as only limited-time supervised only internet) works at this age. But I agree with Rangerfan-it's good to know this is out there for the future, as I'm sure it will be needed. Thanks, Jeff.
