In my family, I’m the one that builds new computers for my kids, albeit they’re over 40 yrs old now.

I also have a Comp. repair business and there are more than a few people that I have worked for that I wished I could say, ” Pull out the plug, pack up the computer and take it back to the store. Tell them that you’re too dumb to have a computer!”

Most of the problems I see however are computers messed up in the home by kids who don’t know as much as they think they do and parents who let them try. The rest are just poor discipline on maintaining awareness for viruses, malware and bad links not being checked.

Oh well, it is fun being different. ;-)

sometimes my dad makes me wonder how he ended up a computer science prof. when after 2 hours him and my mom (who has a masters in it also) couldnt figure out how to put songs onto an ipod and ended up calling me.
