Geek in training

| 3/4/2005 |
As seen in this little story reported by Janene, my attempts to train Alexa to be a good little geek have run into some hiccups.
In case you were wondering, she gets the answer right consistently now :) Next step is to teach her to say "Linux"...
[Update many months later: in case Janene's domain goes away I'm quoting the entire story as she posted it:
"She's my kid.
Tonight after dinner, I heard a conversation that went a little something like this:
Stuart: Alexa, what's the best web browser. Say, "Firefox".
Alexa: I-a-bock.
Stuart: Good girl! What's the best browser?
Alexa: I.E.
Stuart: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Now
the kids amazing, but before you go thinking that she knows the
difference btwn web broswers, know that she likes to "spell" things, so
that "I.E." was a random use of her letters, however appropriate.:)"]
