I sent an e-mail to an old friend of mine, more or less my age, yesterday. It was short but I suggested that she cut and paste a link on to her browser. The reply I got was:
"I have no idea how to cut and paste nor do I know what a browser is...."
WTF? Why does she have a computer? It's hard to believe that anyone in this day and age doesn't have a very basic notion of how to use a computer. Grrrrrrr!

I sent her an e-mail with instructions. She'll probably get back to me and say that she doesn't know what a mouse is!

This reminds me of my mom. She also when she messes up a word deletes the whole word instead of going back and fixing the one letter and she types with one finger. hahaha

I have ordered a copy of "Laptops for Dummies" for her. I don't suppose that she'll read it but I have tried.

My parents and grandparents are like that.
They find having to be told these things embarrassing and patronising.
