[Hidden-tech] safe surfing tips

[Jeff Rutherford]

I've played around a little with Kidzui - www.kidzui.com/

Not sure about the age range for that one. I think it may have  
initially been aimed at younger kids.

Once you've done your research, let us know what you decide. My wife  
and I will be facing this same decision in the next few years.
