My Mom kicks all you's buttocks.  Got a Radio Shack franchise in
1983, we kids got in on the ground floor of personal computing
(on Color Computers and TRS-80's).

She does tech support for others her age.  Or did, in Colorado in
a community for older folks, and is now in Costa Rica figuring
out how to get online.

Name anyone techie who doesn't have to do tech support for their
mother on MS Windows..



The ones whose Mom's got Macs, of course. (Well, in my case it's my
Mother-in-Law, but the
tech support required has dramatically reduced.)
