Birth of a Timmy?

Oh God I hope not!

However, I finally gave in and signed my eldest up for an account on XBox Live as part of his gift set for maing his confirmation today. Fortunately, in setting up the account, I had the options to set up all kinds of family settings for his account, and was able to secure him from the rest of the network and only be visable and accessible to people on his friends list which, fortunately enough, I need to approve before any are added. I really need to tip my hat to Microsoft for making the system very friendly for a parent who is introducing their child to the net and online gaming.

Now, let the real training begin to teach him how to act online so that he doesn't, as the title suggested, turn into a Timmy.
