Okay, so Mum came over for lunch at my house today.
She saw my PC was running, so she had a nosey at what it was doing.
eMule just happened to be completing a download, and she said
"What's this?"
Now, my Mum (bless her) is what I call a reluctant PC user.
She uses computers at her job - email, data entry... just basic stuff, and she leaves the rest up to the techs.
Therefore, I have to keep explanations of computer-y stuff short n' simple when talking to Mum... otherwise she simply doesn't want to know.
So I just told her it was eMule, which is sort of like Kazaa, and it was sharing files.
Mum's eyes lit up and she said
"Kazaa? isn't that the program I saw on the news that can get music for free?"
I said it was.
She asked if my 'Mule could do it too. I said yeah, it was the same basic principle...
Then she asked if I could do her a favour. As it's Mum, I said I'd try.
So now I'm stuck with downloading... *shudder*
The best of the Bee Gees.
