That's a nightmare, especially when you pause it, then leave it so you can FF the adverts then when the parent goes to press play and hits backup, it goes to the guide and you lose everything. >:L

That's funny seeing as you can't brick an iPod touch.

My Grandma uses Firefox & Facebook (no I don't have her on my friends/l.) but she is a bit silly when it comes to computers and such.

My Mum is useless. My Dad is worse, every Saturday my phone is like his technical help line. Every Saturday I spend in the region of 2 hours telling him how to import videos into iTunes. How annoying.

Mine is the same with kk. lol. My dad is better now

My parents still ask me where the on button for the computer is, after about a year.

my dad can't find the p key
