When I got the call from my dad that went something like:
"Remember that update button you told me never to click?"
And I had to go over and tweak Thunderbird so it resembled something 
they could use again. And tweak mom and dad, so they could understand 
how use it again...

On second thought, they do feed me fillet mignon whenever I go over so 
maybe this fast track is a good thing?

Think I'll email dad and tell him to update Firefox. Steak sounds good.
