      Just discovered my mom-in-law has been going into her AOL spam folder and unsubscribing from emails there. Doing so involved clicking soooo many links in seriously dodgy emails. She was like, "why won't it let me unsubscribe?" Me screaming into my pillow.

      I got her a Mac last year after repairing the umpteenth cheapo MS laptop. In retrospect, it seems like a waste of money bc all she does with it is play online games that earn her travel points. But at least I'm not repairing the Mac (yet), so there's that.

          Chromebook is your best friend for ahem "some family members" who repeatedly call you for computer help. Bought my boys those things and taught them to use @LastPass. Life is good.

          So glad I convinced mum to get an iPad instead of a new computer a few years back. Works great for her and I never have to mess with it 😇
