reason #1098342109824 why my father shouldn't have a computer

[mickeym]

I sent an email out to my family members yesterday, letting them know Facebook has changed it's privacy policy/settings, so they could adjust accordingly. I got this email back from dad last night:

Hi Is there a way to DELETE Facebook off the Comp.? If so tell me or I will just stop looking at it as I don't use it anyway.Love Dad

*facepalm*

I took a few deep breaths, said a 'thank you' that I've never been the tech support person who's had to talk him through the myriad of issues he's had, and emailed back that FB isn't actually ON his computer, but on the internet and if he didn't want to use it, just don't go there. Or go there and delete the account, but it wasn't going to be anywhere on his hard drive.

Parents and technology. Gotta love the combination, right?

That reminds me of my nanna, who wanted me to send some pictures via email to my uncle, and was astounded that I'd need an actual email address to do so *g*

USE THE POWER OF YOUR MIND TO KNOW THESE THINGS, TERRI! *g*

I'm actually still--if you're going to email, you need to know where to send it...*shakes head* Never mind. I've not been to bed yet, so that might make perfect sense to someone not currently falling over with exhaustion.

Or, y'know, not. *g*
