Many years ago when I still programmed in Assembler, we developed anti-virus software. One of the jobs I had to do was to debug viruses to see how they hooked into memory or files, find that address and then eliminate the threat. I tried to explain this to my mom. She stood there listening as if she knew exactly what I meant. About 2 weeks later when my wife and I visited my parents again, my mother, after having thought about this thing during the previous 2 weeks, asked me where I found the virus. "Was it in Johannesburg?" She had one reference for "address" and I had a totally different one!
Starting at freeCodeCamp's Responsive Web Design course in 2020, I've been learning web development (html, css, javascript). I am now creating small business websites with WordPress.

So sweet of her to really think it through rather than not keeping any of it in memory because it was over her head. She loves you.
Haha, I wonder what she thought "eliminate the threat" meant
... or "viruses" that "hooked into memory" 🦠🧠
PURGE.
