aww, geez bronxie. Stop deleting your mp3s, and go google "what is a network?" or if your on windows xp, do a search in help and support and watch the little movie that explains networking.

A network can be in many shapes and forms. Basically it is the linking of computers so they can easily share information and services.

It doesnt mean it will be a snoop fest to all of your personal doccuments, or the spying on of your external email (internal maybe)

Most companies dont care whats on your pc personally. Unless of course its porn or something. Having a p2p app wouldn't be good either, but having some mp3s floating around to listen to is fine, as long as your not sending em out across the network.

Staying away from the network as you mentioned also might be kinda hard, in case you need a file or set of doccuments on your company intranet.

As for teaching the kids about p2p, thats good. Its too bad the boss said no. If kids grow up with a lack of RIAA dependence, then the music scene as a whole will be opened for freedom.

You should teach the kids about spyware. Maybe some of them have programs like kazaa at home or other junk, showing them how to be comfortable removing diffrent forms of spyware and junk like bonzai buddy, would benifical.

The last best thing you can als do, is tell em linux is available for the ps2. Sugar coat it a bit, they may think its some game and start begging mommy or daddy for the latest ps2 addon "ps2 linux kit" Nothing like weaning them on to alternative operating systems at an early age.
