I know you're half joking with this, but it's a VERY valid question, especially if we are expecting pre-schoolers or younger to be using it. Sometimes, 3 year olds will still put things in their mouths... not only do we have to worry if it is poisonous, but we also need to make sure it will not shock them.<p/>The other thing to keep in mind is that kids are very experimental and fidgety. We need to make sure the keys on the kyboard, and anyother small parts, are very secure. Kids will pull at them, pick at them, just to see if they can get them off and get a closer look.<p/>I really hope these things are being taken into consideration.
