Nora has figured out that CDs go into the front of the computer* and is determined to figure out how to do it. Here she’s holding a CD and making an innocent “no, daddy, I have no ill intentions whatever as regards that computer you’re standing next to. none. nope. not me. say, have you seen my big, blue eyes recently?” face at me.
Moments later she managed to get the CD-rom drive to eject but couldn’t quite get the disk in.
* we don’t actually have any desktop machines at home, but the linux machine attached to our television (running mythtv) has a front-loading CD-rom drive that is surely doomed.

My youngest at 3 could work a VHS tape pretty well – there is an infinite supply of VHS players at Kiwanis for $5 or $10 apiece, if you want to teach out-dated electronics with minimal cost of failure.
