We have multiple users of our computer (all family). That's ok by me, but it seems that whenever I'm trying use the darn thing, I'm being beeped at, jiggled, and otherwise distracted. It's almost as annoying as having a call beeping in every couple of seconds when I'm on the phone! I'd better go before I break something  Doug |

I've got more computers than I have rooms! They won't necessarily all work on the internet though: some of them are (almost) steam driven. I use a notebook now for most of my doodling - small and pretty cheap.
Doug, do as the others say get something, but don't tell the family you have it lest they half inch (pinch) it too.
Dave.

Thank you all ! I did have a lovely little laptop that was destroyed by persons unknown (not me). I'm all better now; I've fixed my scooter, and can go out for those peaceful little rides in the country that I love to take. I'm still not allowed to play with any sharp objects though Doug |

Doug,
Get them a pet to occupy their time and distract them when you are on the computer.
A chimpanzee would be perfect.

Mickey,
That sounds like a great idea. I only hope that he gets along with the dog and cats that have adopted us. Maybe I could rent one as needed.
