When I managed a chemical plant, I instituted a rule that there would be no playing games on our computers. So I wouldn't be a hypocrite, I had an information technologist get rid of the games on my laptop. Therefore I was surprised to find my grandson playing solitaire on it one weekend. I asked if he had loaded the game...

"No," he answered, "it was already there. It was just hidden - taken off the main menu."

On Monday I chided our information technologist for not getting rid of the game.

"But," he explained, "I thought I just had to keep it away from YOU - not from a nine-year-old!"
