"Gnome Nanny is an easy way to control what your kids are doing in the |
| 20 |
computer. You can limit how much time a day each one of them is |
| 21 |
browsing the web, chatting or doing email. You can also decide at |
| 22 |
which times of the day the can do this things. Gnome Nanny filters |
| 23 |
what web pages are seen by each user, so you can block all undesirable |
| 24 |
webs and have your kids enjoy the internet with ease of mind, no more |
| 25 |
worries!" |
