Subject: A parent's primer to computer slang

Who cares.  Its high-level for parents.  Why would you expect any of
this to be absolutely current or accurate?  I would compare talking to
most parents similar to talking to PHB's.

Is there something here to be disclosed about MS trying to provide
information to parents so they at least have some sort of clue as to
what their children might be doing?

I would think its good that they even trying to broach the subject.
