I did general computer work for a few years, upgrades and repairs
and software issues and a number of times I got a call to do a
certain job, but when that was done, they always hit you with,
"Oh there was one other problem you could maybe help me with.."

Could be anything from virus infected software to adding blocks
to keep their kids from going to porn sites..   B)

I recall one time I was working on a system that was in a home
for family use but also had business software on it for the
construction and trucking company they ran. While cleaning up
the business stuff I ran across some porn and I hesitated to
mention it since they were a Very religious family, but I figured
it had to go so I tried to lighten the impact by saying that
sometimes you go to a site and they send you stuff like that
without you even knowing about it.. But the funny part was that
the only one who could have been downloading the porn was the
12 or 13 year old *Daughter*..   (Enter - Nanny Software..)

It's not just for boys anymore..  B)
