....since I often have to help my mom with computer-related stuff, I have a question - is there a diplomatic way to tell her that it might not be a good idea to just unplug stuff on the computer?
This came up this morning because apparently the power strip (I think that's what it's called, anyhow) was making weird noises......like it was about to catch on fire, so my mom unplugged the computer. The thing is, she doesn't know that much about computers/the Internet, and I'm afraid that someday she's going to unplug something, not be able to remember where/what she did, and expect me to fix it.
