This is a very important topic. Since the IT field is my profession I am involved with security on a daily basis. I also have a 16 and 14 year old step kids that each have their own computer.

I do not run any software on the computers however I do stress to them the importance of what they are doing. Fortunately I know where to look and I typically know what the most popular things kids are doing.

Two pieces of software I know people have used are NetNanny and CyberPatrol. Where I work, I use a very expensive program (for the average user) called SpectorSoft which monitors EVERYTHING users do on their computer. Every click, which windows are active, and how many clicks, etc…

I do see that spectorsoft has parental software but I am not familiar with it. Let me tell you, spectorsoft (the version I use at my office) is a wonderful program.

If anyone ever has any questions, please use me as a resource, I will give as much knowledge as I have regarding this or anything with technology.

Thanks! I knew I would post this in the wrong area! I will check there!

Those are some amazing pictures! What kind of camera are you using!? To be able to take shots like that through a window and a screen and have them still turn out that well; all I have to say is WOW!!

Do you sell your shots for computer backgrounds?

I live in Eagle Lake, just East of Mankato.

Would the bobbershop in Mankato have what you are looking for?

I just saw this on Sunday when it was in Cannon Falls MN. My dad and I went to the Viking game and then met my uncle. My uncle was very “touched” and somewhat emotional since it was me, my uncle, and my dad. They were both over there and thankfully made it back.

If you ever get a chance, go to DC and see all the monuments. It is amazing!

It does bring a lump to your throat. I cannot say it enough to all Vets….. THANK YOU!!

Thanks again for all the responses! Everyone has been very helpful!

Count me in!
Thanks!

Thanks again for all the responses! I really appreciate it! I actually stopped in Mapleton this afternoon and looked a bit. The salesman there was preoccupied so I didn’t get to see much but it was nice to see the boats he did have.

Just to throw this out there. What are thoughts on pontoons? (wife asking… not me)

Thanks so much again!

Where did you purchase your crestliner? I am not too familier with many dealers. CrystalPierz?? Thoughts?

I would like little larger boat since I could have 5-6 people with me all the time. Like the room!

Thanks for all the posts already! I should maybe rephrase this a little bit. Those are the 3 brands I am looking at. I liked the last post regarding type (Deep V, engine size, etc…) for different types of lakes. I could be on some larger lakes like Mille Lacs. Woman Lake is a strong possibility. Otherwise just on some of our smaller lakes here in southern MN.

I understand being biased towards a brand. (for instance I ride polaris snowmobiles)

I leave near Mankato Minnesota, who or where are some dealerships that you know of that have good reputations?
Thanks again for all the quick replies!

Don’t you guys work? *laughing*
