One of the kids was bemoaning how a lot of clips on places like YouTube
displayed part of a video, then directed the viewer to 'click here to
see the rest...'
I explained that a lot of those sites had bad software that
automatically downloaded itself onto your computer, and that software
could do things like steal your passwords or put illegal things on your
computer. Then I explained that Windows was much more subject to this
problem than Linux, and while some home users don't care, I can't afford
to have that happen to our computers since I work at home.
Case closed.
(OK, maybe it was more than two sentences. I do know that I only took
two breaths during the explanation, so I'm counting it as two sentences.)
