I am trying to set up a new computer, my kids are going to have this one, but I may use it occasionally if hubby has mine on the road. They both will be going thru same internet connection, though occasionally mine will be with me travelling too and may be on wireless networks.
Is this going to be a problem as far as logging into babble?
Sorry, I am rather computer challenged....
Thanks,
muffled

It helps with the kids because it gives them some sense of autonomy even if you do get to exercise some "parental controls".
More importantly -- your bookmarks, your "saved passwords" and logins would only be available to someone who could sign in on your account. It would be a means for preserving your privacy, particularly if you didn't want to share what you say here with your family for whatever reason.

***I wanted to be able to share files btwn. the computers too.
But mostly what I was concerned about here was if I was gonna have a prob. w/logging onto babble?
Yeah, and I guess privacy in my journalling would be nice.
