Dad's Worst Idea Ever
by Kate Rafter

Dad's worst idea ever was to make himself admin of my computer. It just made it harder for IT to set up wireless access, and now whenever there's some slight error with connection I can't fix it myself, but I have to go bug IT again. They are swamped as it is. If my computer were a third-world nation, then I am the puppet government and Dad is the U.S. foreign policy group that never visits the country but won't let me make any administrative action on my own.
Poo.

So instead of complaining about this to the heavens, call Dad up and ask him to make it so you're the admin. How hard can that be? He would probably appreciate the call. And he still refuses to read this.

Speaking of calls, you didn't answer mine today. I can't find your MP3 player so I haven't mailed you anything yet.

I dispute that characterization -- Kate setup her own account, the second account was merely intended to be a second administrator. I guess the computer made its own decision giving deference to the engineer over the liberal arts major! Dad

I love your third-world country analogy. True or not true, it made me laugh.
