She took the computer to Best Buy, and the employees told her the same thing after they fixed it. She ignored them and just "banned" me from using the family computer for TWO YEARS, because my Mom always needs someone to blame except for my sister.
I eventually saved up enough money to buy a near-mint condition Thinkpad, that had a broken Windows installation. I just installed Debian (Linux distro) and called it a day.
My Sister continues to use Limewire to download viruses, since she cannot tell the difference between a 5kb exe and a 5mb mp3. While I am at school (she is supposedly sick), she takes my laptop and tries to use it for her various online activities, and quickly discovers it is impossible to install Windows programs natively on it. They go to Best Buy and have a fellow install Windows on it, along with every junk program on this side of the galaxy. By the time I arrive home my sister has managed to -blam!- it up with more viruses than a two-bit whore
My Mom tells me that the laptop is now my sister's property, since "I cannot be trusted with computers". "But mom, I bought it with my own money from the jobs I did last Summer. Whether I can use it 'well' is irrelevant". She then tells me that if it wasn't for her status as a local pharmacist I would have never had the jobs, so it was her money anyway.
Turns out only half the people I worked for knew her name.
My entire family now considers me the computer illiterate.[/quote]
