Here is my new protection system! Got a 2 year old & its time to keep him away from the gear. He likes to watch Bob the Builder & Barney DVDs & thinks he can use the system by himself. Looks like my system is in jail hahaha.gated%20system.jpg

    Good idea, but I think it's time to put your gear in a LOCKED room that only you have a key for. ;)

    I understand where you are coming from. I have a 2 yearold as well. He like the wiggles. I do not use my system in front of him and have a system upstairs for him.

    You telling me a 2 yr old can't get through that fence? Electrified?

    I can still remember my daughter at about 2 sticking a key in a headphone jack on my Heathkit AA-15. A "BrrrrrrraaaaaaP" came flying out of the mains like you would not believe. I don't know which of us it scarred more.

    Then there was the time I found the stylus on my Shure M91ED bent sideways...

    I don't like children personally, no offense to those of you have have small animals. Its funny when the nieces/nephews come over and they get near the gear....they know the mean Uncle is on the prowl. I have a form of child protection system also, :)

    My comments are meant in jest, please don't get offended by me not having a thing for children. As long as they are not mine, they are....ok.

    My 2 yr old can get over the fencing no problem, but with the fence there it puts up a boundry that he knows he shouldnt pass, also gives me time to catch him! My wife uses the system as often as I do & my son also watches his kids vhs & dvd's. I dont want to make it harder to get at & use. If the wife cant use it or becomes a pain to use I can just see her saying why do you need to upgrade that? The old one still works!. Now if I want to do a upgrade she dosnt say much as long as she can still use it! Ive watched lots Bob the Builder, Barney, & Wiggles recently. Went to the Wiggles Show 2 weeks ago, all my son wants to watch now is The Wiggles! He has a tv & vcr in his room but wants to watch it on the big system ( more room for him to dance)! Oh my quack quack quack quack cockadodle. I hear this so often its stuck in my head!
