I started running a scan on my system this morning because I'm getting more pop-ups than usual and I know from watching J.J. often enough that this is the first step he takes. Of course, he's all over this--it's finally something he can do to be helpful!--and as long as he isn't trying to explain what he's doing, he's functioning pretty well. When he tries to explain, though, well...

"The stuff you have running...it has a thing...it's putting the thing on your computer...that's what makes it happen."

I think he's referring to cookies? Whatever. It sounds very similar to the way I would give help desk instructions.

Considering that a week ago the man couldn't repeat single syllables after me (say "puh", J.J.!) I think he's doing remarkably well.
