Squeak.. being a good father is a never ending quest...just when you think you have it down, everything changes...sounds like you're off to a great start...nice to see you have your priorities right...the keyboards will always be there...they don't know they are being neglected, and being a mere plastic piece of technology...they don't need nurturing...just turn them on..and they are there when you need them...But your children will need you every day...remember...they will only hear one tenth of what you tell them...but they'll remember everything you DO.....Cheers B2
