We could get M$ to sponsor it. :-) (I'm sure they'd be 
pleased to find a bunch of unix experts training kids to use 
Windows.)

Possibly better would be an NCSA webpage describing the 
problem and the cures. Kids come on the problem at different 
ages and different times. It would be hard to find a bunch 
of kids all of who want the information, and whose parents 
would be prepared to drive them to the presentation on the 
night we chose to deliver it. Offering to talk at schools 
would probably not be well received either - the school's 
computer staff might feel their turf encroached on and kids 
might not be terribly interested in another talk by an adult 
stanger on the perils of dope, viruses.... (I'm reminded of 
a skit by Cheech and Chong).
