My Mom was staying at my sister’s house for a while, almost 2 years ago. She was using my sister’s computer or maybe I should say, attempting to. Since my job is in I.T. my Mom would call me with all things computer. Here is just a slice of one of those conversations that caused blood to start shooting out of my eyes.
M: The computer keeps going out.
BJ: Going out? What do you mean?
M: It goes black.
BJ: The monitor?
M: Yes, the computer.
BJ: Mom, are you looking at the computer?
M: Yes, where the picture is.
BJ: No Mom, the computer is the box, the tower.
M: Well it doesn't look like a tower to me.
BJ: That's okay Mom, it's where you would put a disk if you had one, or a CD.
M: I don't have a CD.
BJ: I know Mom. What color is the light on the box?
M: The box on top of the computer?
BJ: What box?
M: The one with all the plug ins?
BJ: You mean the power strip?
M: The electrical. I have to turn that on first.
AGH-H-H-H!!!!!!!
I told her she needed to wait until my sister got home.
