I am my entire family's IT support
I am a project manager in a web agency and therefore everyone in my entire family seems to think that I can sort out all of their computer woes because I 'Work In Computers'. Don't get me wrong, I generally know my way around a PC and can even install new hardware if I have to. Each an every time I go to the inlaws, I am taken aside and asked to 'Work My Magic' on their respective computers.

The best was my father in law (RIP - he was a fantastic chap). Every 6 months his computer would grind to a complete halt and would take at least 15 minutes to start. Each time I 'worked my magic' on it, I would find hundreds of viruses and spyware programmes on it. Even those dodgy ones that pretend to be anti-spyware. He was one of those people who clicks on every single dodgy ad and pop-up he encountered.

He once confided in me that him and his mates (they were all Brummies in their 60's) would occassionally get drunk and surf porn, giggling like school girls, which would account for all of the crap that ended up on the computer. We was a retired head teacher the old perv!

I have just realised that the words 'porn', 'school girls' and 'teacher' should generally not be used in the same sentance, so please take extra care when reading the above paragraph.
