This reminds me of that question; "Where can i download the internet?".

The answer on a website i saw had a 'Download Now' option, and when you clicked it the file transfer dialogue box was a globe going from file to file, with 'Estimated Time of Download' at approx 12,003,253 years or something.

Made me chuckle.

Gina Trapani, a freelance web developer from New York, is just one of this burgeoning army of familial tech support volunteers. She visits her mother-in-law in North Carolina about three times a year and always ends up attending to her creaking four-year-old PC.

"Usually it's only a couple of hours. This past year, however, she upgraded from a dial-up connection to a cable modem,and the machine got infected badly with spyware," says Gina, 29.

Looks like mummy is looking at **** p-)
