Are your relatives computer literate?

If this thread had been posted a year ago, I would have been tempted to say that pretty much every single one of my relatives are downright awful when it comes to computers, but it seems the situation actually improved a bit lately!

My father's better than average, actually, he's been messing inside computers for a long time, before plug and play and the like existed, so he knows what he's doing most of the time. I think. What I'm not sure is if he's good when it comes to more "modern" threats such as spyware and other annoyances. I know he's smart enough not to fall for fake emails, especially the Nigerian scams; he's worked in Nigeria for 15 years and from what I've heard from him, he doesn't hold the locals in very high esteem, to say the least.

My sister is, well, she's pretty much your typical 14 years old, though she might spent more time on the computer than your average 14 years old. Unfortunately that doesn't means she knows much. I'd say she's average.

Until recently I would have classified my mother as a lost cause. While she's still far from being computer literate, she improved a bit, and actually uses her computer to do stuff such as pay bills online. Also, fortunately for me, she only browses a few, safe, websites and instantly deletes any email coming from someone she doesn't know. I also doubt she knows how to install anything, and usually calls me as soon as any dialog box she's never seen pops up. That pretty much keeps spyware out.

For the rest of my family, I have no idea.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
