Ah... systems of control.
I managed to either work around or fully disable each and every kind of limiting software or hardware that my parents used. I actually enjoyed the challenge quite a bit. This kind of joy in "defeating the system" was made much more public when I was caught stealing at ______ (your local Best Buy equivalent). Although, to my credit, (or discredit perhaps) I had often stolen from other stores and managed to get away with it. Eventually I became a bit too confident and slipped up. But let's get back to the point...
My point is that despite the good intentions of my parents I think perhaps my appreciation for defeating oppressive systems across the board was nurtured (in part) by the employment of those systems in my youth.
Just something for your consideration.
