I tried a few other arguments including telling him that Notebook computers were named that becasue they resembled notebooks, and even tried to get him to go look at the ads in the paper. I did not include all my arugments because they have little to do with what I though was funny. Besides as I was trying to point out, when my dad has made up his mind he doesn't want to be confused with facts, and trying to force them on him does not help me solve his real problems. Ana, the Amature, (I guess).

How can you argue with that
My father and I frequently argue and sometimes computer terms don’t help me. Our most recent argument was about whether or not he had a notebook computer.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p>His only computer is a beautiful new 17 inch HP notebook but he was convinced it is a desktop computer. I tried to explain the physical differences by pointing out the fact that his last computer had a separate tower, keyboard and monitor, but he finally told me I had no idea what I was talking about, “just shut up”.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>His proof was that when he turned it on, a screen popped up that had written right on it, ‘DESKTOP”.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>I finally shut up and helped him move his task manager bar back to the bottom of the screen. According to him it had suddenly jumped up to the right side of the screen, all by itself, again; and there’s no point in me trying to explain how that really happens.<o:p></o:p>
