In God we Trust, All Others, We Virus Scan

This blog was written April 3, 2006


My parents, who are older than Father Time himself, finally got themselves a computer. And let me tell you, they know NOTHING about them. Something as simple as hitting ENTER after a finished document, is completely foreign to them. So of course, I, being the sweet and darling daughter that they love the most, set it all up for them and got them going on the internet.
.
*BIG MISTAKE*....
My Mom calls me the other day in a panic, "heather, we got one of those virus thingies!! The monitor went all black with a colored flag that says 'windows' floating all over the place!!!"
"Mom...calm yourself. That's the screen saver, now move your mouse and let me go back to bed."
My Dad can't figure out the whole email thing. I checked my own email on their computer other day. He says " WHOA....how did you get your e-mail into OUR computer?" I had no response.
I told them I was going to get them a free virus protection program and they looked at me like they needed protection from the Avian Flu.

Poor dear fools.
