Do you know how long your mom was in labor with you? If not, I suggest you not share the above sentiment with her, or you are liable to find out. :)
_My_ mom once called me at work because her NT 3.1 domain at home was not letting anyone log on, because she had managed to promote a second primary domain controller without demoting the first, and neither machine would let the other accept authentication requests. I eventually tracked down the procedure for demoting a PDC, but it was literally faster and less complicated to reinstall Windows and all her applications.
I envy people whose parents call them and ask *simple* questions, like, "why doesn't my modem work?"
