Baby Boomers On Computers

I got a call from my father this evening. He was very serious and asked me where I was. I was afraid he was preparing me for a very heavy conversation. My dad proceeded to ask, "I know you really like these Macs, but why do you think that everyone can iChat Video chat all the time and it never works for me?"

I talked my dad through opening ports and setting a static IP address. That shocked me quite a bit considering that my mom doesn't understand the concepts of the desktop or files and folders.
