My mother has had a PC for about 4 years and uses it daily. The only things she can do with her computer is check email and list items on Ebay. Otherwise, she's clueless. She's has the machine for FOUR YEARS ! She can't copy and paste, save files, install programs, nothing. Amazing.

She's has the machine for FOUR YEARS ! She can't copy and paste, save files, install programs, nothing. Amazing.

Actually, that's about what I've seen with most friends over age 50.
But what is even more AMAZING is when people are in a workplace situation where
there is a "carrot and stick" set of incentives to leave the old IBM typewriter
behind and break on through to using a computer.
I saw this resistance to improvement in a group of clerical support staff at a
major university science department.
I think the boss threatened to break the knuckles of the luddites...but politics
eventually dictated putting up with the B.S. until the slugs took retirement.
(I don't like outsourcing...but it's too bad that boss couldn't threaten that
with that band of foot-draggers!)
