>I don't know anything about Ismail's mother, but I would bet that she didn't put much value on all his "computering." Yeah, but should you really be pointing the finger at her? You really feel like she's at fault for her ignorance of modern, tech-related opportunities if she grew up under completely different societal pressures of a different generation? Even despite the fact that (with a "busting your ass" mentality) she never forced her son to get off the computer and find a suitable job? Point being-- she may have voiced her (honestly ignorant) opinion on his "computering" habits because he failed to articulate the job prospects in the tech field to her on a level she could respect. If she was not making ends meet for the family, he would surely have a job to help out.
