In Laws want to get online faster. They currently pay $25+ for dial-up AOL. But all they use is email and internet so the rest of the AOL suite is useless to them.
I may have them sign up with Yahoo's DSL system through AT&T/SBC since it's like $13/mo.
Has anyone used Yahoo's software? I know they have their own browser and stuff like that which includes the parental controls. We have a 14 year old niece that comes to visit and they'd not want her getting to sites she shoudln't.
Only problem is I;ve heard that when you install their software, it installs all the other crap that I don't want. I will be hooking this up through a router so the router will handle the logon info and such.
But ew might jsut not worry about it and have the niece use the laptop wirelessly in the living room so she can't be doing things she shouldn't. heh heh.
Any thoughts?
