I once cleaned a virus off my dad's computer and warned him about the
dangers of opening strange attachments.

I immediately get hit again with notices of the same virus from his
computer.  His answer "I wanted to see what it would look like".

It looked a lot like me buying him a Mac for Christmas.

I know Macs aren't a magic pill against ever getting a virus but it has made
supporting my dad (and everyone else in the family) a lot easier.
