Comment Safari-IE icons? (Score 2, Interesting) 348
Silly idea, but possibly one that might save you a phone call or two.
Change the "Safari" icon (or whatever browser you're planning to use-NOT IE) to the Internet Explorer icon, and possibly rename the browser to "Internet Explorer." (Of course, delete the original IE.)
Chances are, most kids are used to IE on a Windows machine; when they see "safari," they'll have NO idea how to use it/what it is/blahblah without help from the person in charge. I know I've let all of my family (who use Windows) borrow my iBook, and they had no idea how to open the internet browser. As long as kids see an address bar, they know what to do from there.
Icons can be changed by selecting an app, right-clicking, going into "Get Info," then clicking on the smaller icon and copying. Following that, open "Get Info" on the other app which has the icon you're changing, click on the smaller icon, and paste.
