Do you have a license to drive that browser?

I am a 57-year-old retired truck driver with three stepdaughters, two of whom don't think the old man knows a thing about computers. Little do they know that I have a BA in computer science and can run circles around all of their friends. One time, the oldest girl's computer got so clogged up it would freeze, and the only way out was to hard-boot it. I cleaned it up, but there was so much damage done to the OS that I had to reformat the drive and do a fresh install of XP. I tried to save as much as I could of her pictures and music, but even that was hopeless.

When I gave her back the computer, all she did was complain about the lost pictures and say I didn't know what I was doing. Well, the months went by, and of course the stepdaughter didn't heed my warnings about cleaning up after herself on the computer. Her new boyfriend (who thought he knew everything about everything) was, get this, a truck driver with a tenth-grade education. He told her she didn't have to do anything to the computer, as his laptop had been running for over two years without him cleaning anything.
