Bentley & His Buddy Mac

Bentley's relationships with the different computers in his life varies based on the computer's owner. He mostly stays off of Opa's computer, feels free to wreak havoc on Grandma's computer, has been trained never to touch Mom's computer, and spends daily time trying to hack into his Dad's computers.

I don't know that his Dad cares for this behavior but he always leaves his machines locked in password protect mode so he's pretty safe. That is - until Bentley figures out how to type in Daddy's password. Could be a while as Matt is a bit secretive about his passwords doesn't even share them with me! :-)

In any case, Bentley puts in a solid 15 minutes every day trying to get past the logon screens at Matt's desk. I don't normally pay much attention as it's harmless entertainment.

However... Matt has been complaining lately that his Apple laptop is having problems. It seems it keeps restarting, on it's own (go figure!) and then when he shows up in the evening to use it he sees messages about improper shutdowns. I finally put two and two together, and then caught Bentley in the act. After pounding on the keys doesn't get him into the system he resorts to the power button for entertainment. I figure he reasons that at least he gets to see some different action on the screen for a little while as it restarts. :-o

Matt was a little disturbed about this so I suggested that perhaps he shut the lid of his laptop so it doesn't sit there looking quite so inviting. Problem solved. Or not? Turns out the 2 year old knows how to work the clasp and open the Macbook back up. What a clever little guy!

At least - Mommy thinks so!
