[mdlug] Web filtering software

[Michael ORourke]

I would give Glubble a try.  It's a free plugin for Firefox which locks the 
browser down and provides content blocking/filtering.  It's really easy to 
setup and register accounts.  Our family PC runs XP, so I installed Firefox 
so everyone would get familiar with using it.  I'm evaluating the plugin for 
Firefox on an Ubuntu box.  Then I plan on installing the plugin on our 
family PC.

Here's their website address:  www.glubble.com .
