Re: My Dad...
Ha ha! My Dad taught me the basics of computers and electronics back in the 1980s. However if I have to breathe a sigh of exassperation one more time when I'm round his house helping him and he closes every app and window in order to open a new windows I will deck him!
"Just put that window to one side, click the minimize....no Dad, just click minim..."

Argghhhh!!!!!!
Then God forbid this is over the phone. Sometimes it's just easier to jump in my car, drive 5 mins to his house and sit with him for 30 mins while we work through a database problem or his latest craze, buying and playing with wireless CCTV cameras, apps and software. I love him to bits, he taught me to love tech and to be patient with people who can't get it and now at the age of 78 he's taking his revenge out on me for all the years he spent trying to calm me and his other students down! Ha ha!
