Stopped Clock and All That...
Unlike many people, I don't think Bill Gates is evil encarnate or anything like that. Then again, I'm not an OS zealot... I don't care how the computer runs- I just care that it does. On the other hand, as a Seattle liberal, Bill Gates doesn't usually get many brownie points from me, either. (Yeah, I know he's given a bazillion dollars to different charities. And?)
Today, I saw this about Gates and his kids. I think he's on to something.
Thoughts? If you have school-aged kids, how long do they get to play on game systems (lump the game consoles and the PC together for this) each school day? What about on the weekends? Does that change during the summer?

Gates said he and his wife Melinda decided to set a limit of 45 minutes a day of total screen time for games and an hour a day on weekends, plus what time she needs for homework.An hour on school days? Not such a bad plan. On weekends? Maybe just an hour is a bit... over the top. All day? I don't like that.
