pessimisticIn other news, my mother has learned to use Internet Explorer! It's only taken about 6 months, but today she browsed the web for about an hour, only calling me over 3 times to ask what something meant. I am... amazed.
She has, however, received a copy of the Nigerian scam with a new and slightly disturbing twist. It purports to be from a guy who's a refugee from Zimbabwe, living in the UK, who needs to claim US $15 million from his bank account... you know the deal. Except that this version includes a UK mobile phone number. I'm worried that this addition might cause people to believe it, so have actually forwarded it to the police rather than just deleting it. Hrm.
