“This is kind of a small school, and I’m known as the computer whiz,”
This is Jon Penn.
Jon attends Victory Baptist School, a small private school in Millbrook, Ala.
Like most schools, Victory Baptist has a computer lab, and like most schools, the computer lab is under-funded and under-staffed. In fact, the school had just lost its IT systems overseer, and Jon's mother Paula, the school librarian, had been asked to take over the computer lab, adding to her already busy schedule.
That's where Jon stepped in.
At the ripe old age of eleven, Jon rolled up his shirtsleeves and got down to business. In Victory Baptist's old computer lab Jon cleared out mountains of spyware and viruses, installed filtering software, cleaned up hard drives, pulled unnecessary sound and video cards, worked a deal with Microsoft to update the computers, and found time to teach computer classes, in addition to the normal day to day of being eleven.

Jon, you're an inspiration.
Keep up the good work.

For God's sake, I just saw this on Channel 5 news, 35 minutes ago. The little kid is cute. He'll probably be a computer geek when he grows up.
If you don't think the story is real, you obviously don't watch the news.
Time to shut down your computers little ones, it's bedtime.
