| Hello:
|
| As many gamers are aware, the sport is addicting. I am the mother of a
| teenage boy who spends 5 hours at a time on the PC gaming. It has extended
| into the wee hours of the morning now that school is out and I'm looking for
| two things:
|
| 1. A way to track the time he spends playing a particular program. With
| this data I can try to reason with him that he may need help managing
| himself his time.
| 2. A program that automaticall shuts off the PC within time periods that
| the user specifies. I had tried a program like this last year, but it
| crashed the computer more than once by corrupting system files.
|
| Any suggestions on how to help someone establish reasonable time boundaries
| for PC use would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
