Day 20

---

Admin, quiz, goodbyes to staff, final fun teaching session with games, goodbye to some learners, pub with the rest, discuss future plans, goodbye to fellow trainees, tube, sleep.

Easy.

My work in London isn't quite finished. I've been politely asked (=begged) to fix two computers before going home. The first is of my hosts - it just needs some spyware and virus scans, a slow process but not a difficult one. And then Norton or Zone Alarm installing.

Oh, and they wonder if I could just quickly fix the printer and set up a wireless network for them afterwards. No.

The second is of the cleaning lady, and needs the same delousing and protection. Though what she's really worried about is that her sixteen year old son might be using the net to view pornography - and being damaged by it in some mysterious way.

She's not worried about him being bankrupted by online gambling, swindled by scams or buying contaminated drugs. He could be reading fascist literature, or get seduced by a wacky religious cult, or he might get caught in a pyramid scheme. But no, her sole concern is that he might, possibly, be looking at pictures of people without their clothes on.

I'll give her a free netnanny, and she'll forget to use it.

And the moral of the story is: Never tell anyone you know about computers.
