Yes, I do, and from what I've seen, unless their parents are computer programmers or engineers, most kids that age are more computer literate than their parents.

Ask him why your dad wouldn't let you reinstall computer software?

Once again, iffy misunderstood.


In a post mentioning why my DAD wouldn't let ME wipe out a computer system, why would I refer to asking FIU?  If you still need help I meant ask my dad.

Why would you have ME ask your father? Wouldn't you be the only one on this forum able to communicate with him?

Ever heard of a phone?  And you were the one that wanted to know, why would I have someone else ask him?

I don't think any of us care enough to track him down, anyway.

Yes, I have heard of a telephone. You are aware of its function, correct? You put in a number to contact someone else.

And I meant that YOU should talk to him. That was my question, why WOULD you have someone else ask him?

Damnit, I got completely lost after the 1st post on this page. So I'll just comment that my dad is a computer programmer. Oh, Ifcar: I did ran Ad Aware one more time today and something called Alexa came up. I remembered you talking about that, what is it?

I think Alexa is like a website-related software.  If I remember right it's a rating system or something.
