In response to Tink's post 'Are You Pushing Your Kids in the Wrong Direction?' my answer is no, they can make decisions for themselves very easily. Here we have prove of it, my eldest daughter Heidi busy extending mx.collections.ListCollectionView. As you can see she also recently made the switch from Vista to OSX without parental intervention :-)

You know I'm looking for some young developers. Maybe you should take her out of school now, get her a flat in London and get her on my payroll.

Seriously shes looks so cute though. My sis's kids love their laptop too!

LOL, ok, I'll let her know that uncle Tink's got a job waiting.

PS: she's starting school next year :-)

Hahaha, I can just imagine the speech bubble.....

"...and compile and....ahhhhhh...what do you mean there 12 problems with this class??? ..."

Stefan, it's comforting to know that you are exercising good parenting by providing your children with better options to facilitate their learning (OS X). If Vista can give adults nightmares, I can only imagine how detrimental it could prove to a kid. By the way, how is her Server-Side AS? Obviously she has your genius for Flash, and of course you know we ARE looking for another engineer here at Adobe. ;-)

I think this is the first time I've seen her, she looks so much like you. Quite cute. Not to say you are cute though :)

Stefan, can you ask Heidi if she will open source her new class? You should buy her that little logitech mouse that has pink flowers on it (I bought one for my daughter, it fits her hand perfectly) http://www.directron.com/9314570403.html
