The daughter was disrespectful towards him, but she ddin't mean it to be outright, either. A lot of people say things about others behind their back. A lot of it they don't mean. It's a way of letting off steam. Either way, she was wrong. But the point of all this is it doesn't matter whether she was wrong or right. The father owned the laptop and did the maintenance and had just spent $130 on software. That's what matters. If he wants to shoot it, that's his choice.<br /><br />Simple.Jonhttp://pulse.yahoo.com/_EJA3A6AUYNS6XCGCBCHBS3N4YQnoreply@blogger.com
