Джордж Томас в восемь лет ходил всюду. Его родители не могли даже оплатить ему трамвай, тем более купить велосипед, и он регулярно проходил шесть миль до своего любимого места рыбалки без сопровождения взрослых.

My kids spend a lot of time with computer, but the rare getting dirty in the pond makes them much, much happier. I see you are ready to trade, I am not sure 8-years-old you would agree with adult-you.

O, I think he would even at that age. But of course I am moved by the fact that I got my first PC-in-reach at like 20 or so...
