My Mom, lost in African cyberspace

Hi Mom! I decided to put your comment right here at the top of the page, so that you’d see my response. Here’s the comment you posted on that Vista/Office thread, which I just saw for the first time:

For those who don’t know, my Mom is traveling in Africa somewhere with her brother Jim and my cousin Cari. And she’s going to send us some cool posts about her trip, which I’ll share here with the world, but she seems to be having some technical difficulties.

OK, Mom, I have no way of knowing what you’re doing wrong. You didn’t exactly give me much information to work with there. But … I see a clue. Your comment is coming from “spainishlavonne” but your Hotmail account that Greg set up was spanishlavonne. So perhaps you’re simply spelling the name wrong?

Maybe hi-tech young Cari can help out. Or maybe you could give me some more information — post some details on this thread, and we’ll figure it out. But DON’T post your actual password here. There are lots of right-wing nutjobs who would like nothing better than to hack into my Mom’s email account and send nasty spam to the world as LaVonne. We have to be careful, living in a fishbowl like this!

OK, Mom, your turn … please keep trying, I’m sure it will be worth it when we hear all the details of what you’ve been up to.
