So I finally confronted my father and told him that I built a computer meant to run Windows. He laughed and then flipped his stuff when I realized I was serious. Afterwards he told me that I'm going to need an "oscillator" and some "licers". He told me that any hardware you find online is shoddily made by idiots in a tent, and then boasted that Apple hardware was superior. (probably because it's shiny and costs more money than what I spent mine on.)
Even right now I can hear him whining about it to my mother. I think I heard him say that I could have bought a used computer for $200, as if that would be anywhere nearly as powerful as my setup at the moment. I'm not sure if he can grasp the thought of anti-virus software. Here I thought we could have finally bonded after knowing that I'm a lot more fluent in technology...
He's an "engineer" for Apple and treats it like a religion. I think it's time to disown him.
