Anyone got elderly relatives/younger siblings with Technology?

This is not tongue-in-cheek, it's quite 'nice' really. For all those 'silver surfers' and their siblings - either way! http://visualbasic.about.com/library/blcptrfor mom.htm Aaawww!

That was a nice article. You don't have to be REALLY old to be frightened of computers. I was at school in the 70s and there were no computers in my school. So I'm new to computers and still anxious about them.

Being an oldie myself, computers were a natural progression for me.

I started working life with a manual typewriter, progressed to an electric typewriter. A word processor was next - what a revelation!

Then the hugely expensive, very basic pc when we had to learn the mysteries of dos and formatting disks.

Computers are a lot simpler and more stable than those early ones - as well as being much more powerful.
