The trouble with parents!!
5 Answers
My mother (65) has MS & has problems retaining information. She struggles to work the remotes/house phone etc but has bought a laptop to do basic things like letters, e-mails etc.
Because of the information retention issue, she is struggling to remember basic things like switching off/opening files etc.
Is anyone aware of a training CDRom that would tutor her was through the very basics, as I don't live with her (Dad is as clueless but could load a CDRom for her) & trying to explain on phone when I can't pop over is not ideal. It doesn't matter if the CD is for children, anything would help.
Many thanks.

I work beside a pc for most of my day so really like the idea of remote help as I can only imagine the mess that the 2 of them will get into when they get more "advanced"!!
