I even sometimes bring my laptop into the garage so I can access Pelican while wrenching.
I would think that with kids, a laptop would be a better way to monitor what it is they are doing online. You can keep them in the kitchen or wherever you are while they surf.

From what you guys are telling me, wireless seems the best.
I had thought about it, but was not sure of the area coverage (through walls etc). However, from what you say this does not seem to be a problem.
As they were paying for it themselves, we will have to do some negotiating on who pays for what, as they will need the xbox part as well!
A trip to Best Buy or Future shop this week end I think.
