Happy Thanksgiving!

...and here is an article that covers families, technology and the Thanksgiving holiday.

The Tech-Support Generation: "Millions of young Americans will head home next week to give thanks, eat turkey and fix their parents computers"

It's funny because it's true: At my parents, I spent about an hour trying to rid my Dad's PC of spyware and getting him up-to-date with protection. The two of us were sitting in his study, and my Mom comes in yelling that we're being "anti-social".

    Gee, a mirror existence. My mom's computer is also contaminated with Spyware. Ad-aware doesn't recognize it and she has dial-up. I'm going to have to burn a CD with some other spyware-removal software. Sigh.
