| Re: How do you like your updates served to your Mother's System? said by uid1307457  :my mother was born in the sixties and never owned a computer until 2004...enough said... I was born in '51, so I guess I'm representing the mothers, here. My husband and I have owned computers since the '80s and I operated a word processing business when using Kermit and a modem was cutting edge.
I didn't come online until 2000 and cringe when I think about how ignorant I was and some of the things I did (like removing files with names that "didn't sound right," when I started having problems...probably because I'd already removed the unconfigured firewall that blocked too many places in the first & second computers I toasted  ) prior to mid-2003 when I found a security forum and got good advice for the first time. BUT I learned, and I'll bet your mother could, too, if you encouraged her just a bit.
