Seems obvious, Peter.  The 'tool' central to the crime is the
computer.  Simply don't allow him to work with them for a while.  I'm
curious as to just how many people really don't 'get' this; that
think, as Mike would have us believe, that we're talking about not
letting him go to graduate school or something equally silly.  Of
course, if he was working on a C.S. degree, he might have a few
problems attending for a while, if not programming on computers was
part of his probation.
