This thread is bad enough without turning it into a forum on child rearing. Please, let's not turn this into an insult contest on how to raise our kids. BTW, if that engineer's numbers are right and the K7 using SLOW 1/3 speed L2 is as fast as the good old top of the line Xeon from Intel at floating point, then I wonder what the additional of full speed L2 (like the Xeon has) will do for the K7's numbers.

Scumbria, Re: "What is the real world? My kids are strict vegetarians. They have never watched television, and have never played 3D video games. In spite of all these "handicaps", they are extremely intelligent, athletic, artistic, happy, and outgoing. Strangers frequently comment how bright-eyed our kids are. If we are depriving them of the opportunity at disillusionment or Prozac addiction later in life, so be it." Personally I fail to see the link between "strict vegetarianism" and not watching TV or playing video games etc with higher moral values or intelligence or happiness etc. Depending on the ages of your kids I am incredibly impressed if they do this of their own free will and more power to them. If they are doing all this due to parental control and pressure, I would question this approach frankly and certainly as they become teenagers and get older. In fact the pressure to rebel and creat their own identities and values will surely be greater if this is not of their free will. Regards, Kash Johal.
