Short Takes - KooBox for Kids
Lindows.com Inc. (www.lindows.com) has created the KooBox for Kids, a computer solution designed to provide Internet safety for children. The KooBox for Kids (http://koobox.com/indexKIDS.html) comes with SurfSafe, a program that filters Web and e-mail content. Because it is integrated into the operating system, SurfSafe is able to offer a high level of protection from adult content for children. The program receives daily updates of offensive sites, has intuitive filters and is compatible with all types of Internet connections.
