Last week my mother called to tell me she was going to be emailing me pictures of her new cat from her computer. I was a little surprised, because my mother is not exactly technically savvy. 'Good for you, Ma,' I thought. It was nice to see her take a little initiative and learn something new.
So, I never got any email from my mother, but it's been a busy week and I haven't had time to ask her what happened. Yesterday, I got home from work and grabbed the mail only to find a small padded envelope from my mother stuffed in the box.
I opened it up to find several pairs of socks, and the remains of a Kodak photo CD (the kind you get when you develop photos at a drugstore and ask for digital prints). It seems she stuffed the socks in the envelope first, then put the CD (no sleeve, no jewel case) on top, so naturally, the thing snapped to shards in transit. My mother is truly Queen of the Internets.
At least I got free socks. :/

I was quite happy when Joph mentioned something about spamming F5 to refresh his screen on slow posting days.

I've seen a woman open word doc , type "The Internet" , hit enter, wait , and then ask me why it wasn't working.

And the good of others.
I can remember back in the days of DOS. A friend of mine came over, and wanted to play Doom. Well, I offered to start it up for him, but he claimed he could easily start it himself. Sure, I thought, and went downstairs to pick up some food. Came back up, and immediately got "Damn your computer is slow!" thrown in my face. I looked at the screen, and saw the command prompt, and the word "dum" typed in. (That's how Doom is spelled in Norwegian if you just spell it as it is pronounced.) He didn't even press enter.
So, I showed him how to navigate to the folder in question, and which file he should execute. Then I got "Well I am not a fUcking nerd like you..." thrown at me. Needless to say, I threw him out.

Stop FUcking
doing that
My mother's email capabilities go just far enough to forward me chain emails and bad jokes.
Well... at least she's never 'emailed' me a CD on top of socks.

Crazy, because I've actually found that my ***** causes dementia. Which is pretty much why I try to get rid of as much of it as I can. I could email you some in a sock if you'd like.

I actually conducted a little experiment yesterday and sat and watched the OOT.
despite the crap he gave me for it, BT did it four times yesterday.
This one is for you , Kaain.

No, idiot. When I do it, I leave a space between the regular-sized text and the small text.
In that way, it actually conveys an "under-your-breath" afterthought in a way which doesn't offend the eyes, dipsh*t.

No no. See, typing up a preface to a punchline then
leaving a gap for the suspenseful small type is fine.. and usually funny.
But
