You need to either make that woman internet savy, or steal her computer. I mean...that...just...there are no words. There is almost nothing more obviously virus-bait than the mass distributed email attachment. I remember "Don't open emails from people you don't know." being one of the very first things I was told on the subject of avoiding viruses, and that was years ago!
See, it was sent from my cousin (... who never emails my mom), so my mom got really excited and ... well, she clicked, because she knows
nothing about URLs.
And yeah, it's pretty terrible. She has to constantly call me in to ask about things like logging out of email accounts, can't hold onto the most basic google-fu for three minutes, forgets all the hotkey combinations I teach her so that things won't take forever and a day... bleh. Oh, well. I'm sure she'll figure it out someday
Auugh. Buying new clothes... the clothes I want to wear and the clothes that I should wear are completely at odds with each other. Dressing nicely vs. dressing the same as everyone else and all that. I mean, wearing blazers/dress shirts/loafers/etc to a school filled with people wearing hoodies and sneakers is pretty much just drawing attention to myself (something I'd rather avoid), but how I'd like to.
Do what you want, man. They'll freak out for a little while, but if they're anything near worthwhile people they'll get used to it soon enough and even welcome your unusual presence.
