I saw a deal for a pair of mini PCs with decent specs on eBay right after I got my annual bonus, so I jumped on it because I want to do the same thing for my kids. May be jumping the gun a bit...my son just learned the alphabet (uppercase only) and my daughter just learned how to flop off the couch head-first.

    It's a hell of a moment when they can out perform their parents, isn't it?

    My wife taught my son English uppercase letters, so I've been teaching him Greek lowercases. I can't help but feel proud every time he says "pi"

    ...but who taught her to flop off the couch? That sounds like an aunt or uncle.

    She independently discovered it haha. I sit her down on the couch next to me while I'm working, and she constantly flops over. It drives me nuts! I would let her just do her thing, but she's got pretty bad reflux and even just a minute or two of tummy time within like 2 hours of having a bottle will make her ralph.

    The other day, I had to get up for a minute or two, and I left her on the couch. My better judgment kicked in and I pushed an ottoman next to the couch to block the space she usually tries to launch into. This is what I came back to see:

    My kids are a little older - just learned to read without sounding off the words - so I need to introduce parental controls. But you may see your purchase as an investment: a year from now, the hardware may be worth twice as much.
