I’ve disabled the Norton Internet Security, my mother keeps asking what is it that that little icon is saying…”Your computer might be in danger”, I’m saying “abort, retry, ignore? Alt+I)” .

Norton is really bad software, I’m getting rid of it, McAfee is SO much better, and cheaper.

I’m also switching her to IE7, it’s MUCH safer (IE is something that my father and brother feels “passionately” about, no need to provoke them – baby steps).

Follow our progress here:

WiKim: Ruth Vita Bach, we’re co-creating a “Computing for 70+ dummies” (which I “sort of” has told my mother). My mother actually made some of the entries. OMG! MediaWiki as a writing tool? Well I have a motive (as usually)! There’s no Danish Wikipedia entry for Kniplinger (Lace) and she is very good at making that!

But why a PC?? When i think of my fathers first computer.. it was the worst time in my life. He called me day in night asking all kind of weird questions: Why does it pop up? what is Symantec? update something, cant remember what! Somebody asking for a fillout form – why?!

After he got a Mac no problem, he’s sort of getting a little buzz with all that safari googling, in a safe enviroment.

Believe me this is the worst support assignment in your life, anyway you’ll get my point in a week or so. Sell it will it still have a price tag and before all does W32 get crazzed about Vista-with-no-view!

Fly-A-Kite…OK, I might try it, but it’s a serious hack…
