I don't know about you guys, but my parents are terrible at computers and still use IE5. That's why I think Update Your Parent's Browser Day is a great new holiday we all should take advantage of:
This year, though, do something different. Don't just explain to Grandpa or Mom or your father-in-law that there is a whole world of secure web browsing out there. No, take a firm stand. Tell them they won't be able to watch funny fishing videos on YouTube with IE6 anymore. Usually, by this point, most parents are begging for help and you can extract excellent perquisites for your labor.
There you go kiddos, it's just that easy to improve your parent's online life.

Orrrrr just download Firefox/Chrome/Opera and change the icon/name to Internet Explorer's I think you can even skin them to look like IE.

That works too, but there's no reason you can't do that tomorrow as well.

Thankfully my mom uses Chrome willingly, so I'm good.

My mom is 75, and too much of a Macfan to give up her Safari. But if something doesn't work, the first thing she tries is opening Firefox. Then she always goes back to Safari.

My dad still had dial-up. And he doesn't know the difference between a browser and a ISP. *facepalm*
