This is a question Ignorance

I once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

I dispair.
My father really did believe that he was the millionth visitor to a website (do they even have those banner adds any more?) He will phone up competition lines at 4 billion pounds a minute to win frick all. I dare not look at his internet history.

But whats most scary, because of his love of handing out personal information we've been having the 'mircrosoft' scam phone calls, if I'm not there to waste their time, my father will actually believe them, 'your computer running a bit slow?' 'why yes it is young sir' I just wait for the day that he gets his card raped.

The laminate list idea is going to be done this weekend.

I'll add 'Millionth visitor scam' banners to their laminate.
If you have any other tips add them here!

Tell them not to click on any message that pops up telling them they have viruses UNLESS it's actually from the anti virus software they have installed
If I had a penny for everytime I've had to remove malware and adware from my Dad's or my inlaws' PCs I'd have £5.63

I got 3 license keys free with Kaspersky, through my bank account
They are definately having one of those.

I did the same with extra Avast! licenses.
It's much easier to manage their antivirus solutions than having to fix yet another borked machine.
