Everybody has at least one family member that thinks they know more about computers than you do yourselves, right? It's the same with me and my father. I'll give a little background here!
My father has been using a computer since the early days of IBM, late 80s to early 90s, because he needs it for his jobs. I, on other hand, have been raised on computer useage. What that means, in my case, is that I learned how to keyboard without even looking at the keyboard when I was six. (I'm 23 now, almost 24.) I learned how to use a Mac when I was only six, and an PC when I was around nine or so. So, we've been using a computer for roughly the same amount of time.
He's pretty handy with a computer, but sometimes he just fustrates me when something goes wrong with his computer. It's invariably my fault BECAUSE I was the last person to use it in his world, even if I hadn't used it in over a week and he used it the day before.
One morning, my father left me a note on my own personal computer (I had a custom-built computer, whereas he had a standard issue computer.) written in all caps that I broke his printer. The tone of the message was extremly angry, and the thing that puzzled me the most was that I had NOT used the printer in the past three days, and Dad used it the day or two before. I went upstairs to the printer in his office, looked around on the computer. Turns out it was deactivated. He said I broke the printer becuase it wouldn't print out anything.
He eventually apolgized for blaming me, but trust me, it's not gonna be the last time he blames me for technology problems!

Ugh, my dad used to do that too when I lived at home. It was always Neopets breaking the computer. That Neopets is full of viruses, Neopets is taking too much memory (erm, it's an online game...), Neopets blah blah blah. Yeah Dad. My own computer is doing just fine.
1Haha. Since you have your own computer, help him out and put a password on his computer. That way he can only blame himself...
