Shea gets it!  Craig forgot to mention that 1) his parents live in 
Scotland, so no hands-on help is available 2) they bought their 
first-ever computer about 6 months ago, and computers are a lot more 
expensive there, so any change in technology is out of the question.

I must say, it was hysterical the other week when they got hit by the 
blaster worm.  Craig, without an MS box to refer to and with no 
particular instructions other then the description of the virus on the 
web, was able to walk his parents through regedit and some command-line 
stuff to clean out the worm.  I was extremely impressed.  Just have to 
brag on my hub!
