when i visit my family, i try not to discuss anything 'techy' with them for many reasons....one of them being, when i make a suggestion, it often goes ignored.... for example....tonight i suggested they stop using Internet explorer and switch to firefox...or better yet...chrome. that's when my mom said... Quote: 'i can't switch to Chrome because my Scanner only works in Internet Explorer...' my reaction: how would you have responded?????? lol .
thats nothing.. my mom once claimed she doesn't have a start button. I said: look in the bottom left corner. And she's like: oh i see it now.. so what do i do now ? and Im like: click it... just click it.. (what else could you possibly do with it) And she says: with which mouse button ? So I :aargh4:
Yeah, they know not what they say. I constantly have friends say "I can delete files if that will make my computer quicker !" Nothing to do with the 23 toolbars and other crapware they install
I think making fun of the person who raised you on a blackhat marketing forum because they weren't born into a computer generation and raised on windows is far worse than anything that can be said here. How would you like if your mother was going on forums making fun of you behind your back? Pretty sick imo.
Im not making fun of her. Just sharing an experience. Like OP. And who the hell are you to judge me ?
We had a customer once who's machine we serviced and when they got it back they complained that all their files had been deleted from there filing cabinet... ...their "filing cabinet" turned out to be the recycle bin!!!!
