good point ther about the relatives/friends Bromor... I hadn't thought of that.

I suppose i'm a bit biased, my grandfather is nearly 100% incompetent when it comes to the internet and computer use. But he went to college for electronics years ago, so he thinks he knows how they should work, bitches when they don't work that way, and calls me randomly for help (often things that I've helped with before).

This sounds oddly familiar. My dad does the samething. My dad has 50 something years experience as an electrician and he thinks he knows how all electronics work. Now my nephew and I take turns fixing his mistakes. Not just computers..with all electronics. I let my nephew handle the other electronics and I take care of the computer problems. Personally I think the problem lies somewhere between the keyboard and the computer chair. 

I'm tempted to invest in a MAC for them. My okaa-san knows how to navigate her way around a MAC...my dad on the other hand would get frustrated and give up all together.

 

A MAC? a MAC cannon? From Halo 2 and 3?

If all the idiots of the world were gone then there would be no more humans left on this planet.

I think everyone has a different opinion on what an idiot is.

Extreme mental retardation sounds like a good name for a show on MTV. Oh wait. That's Jackass.
