Rob:

The product is called Spector 2.0, and it records Internet and PC activity by taking hundreds of screen snapshots every hour, automatically and undetected.

The result is that a parent (or employer), can see what someone is doing on the Internet or PC, even when the parent or employer is not around.

It is completely the opposite approach to Internet filters. Spector doesn't filter anything, it simply records.

We strongly promote that parents or employers let those who are recorded know they are being recorded. That, in turn, acts as a strong deterrent to spending hours at work playing games or surfing the Internet for non-business related sites, or for kids seeking out adult-sex sites.

Anyway, the product has been shipping since January, and fortunately has gotten quite a few very good reviews.

The web site is located at:

spectorsoft.com

For those wondering what this has to do with eBay, we offer the product for auction on eBay.

Here is a link to a current eBay auction going on that I started on Monday:

cgi.ebay.com

Note that the eBay listing has received 15 Dutch bids in slightly more than 2 days.

Now, here is a link to the same auction running on Amazon auctions, which I started 8 days ago:

auctions.amazon.com

Tha Amazon auction has received 4 bids in 8 days, while the eBay auction has received 15 bids in 2 days. (For all practical purposes, it is the same auction.)
