Do you have 80-something parents?
If so have you ever tried to get them to do *anything* they didn't want
to do?
Long-distance?
I am still working on getting mom to consider just trying AOL or Gmail
or Facebook chat.
Just once.
She's extremely hard of hearing and the phone doesn't play nice with her
hearing aid.
I haven't managed *that* task in five years.
Switching from Word Perfect : NEVER. GONNA. HAPPEN. EVER.
Probably I should go find a small-business list and ask there instead of
asking on a unix list :-)
Heh...
My mom is ok with Word on Windows 7. Move to anything else would
confuse the hell out of her. It would be years of weekly phone calls,
if not daily. She is currently self sufficient, except of issues that
even I can't help remotely. And she is only 67.
Her mom, on the other hand, does not own a computer. She writes letters
by hand in cursive (that long lost art...) There is no way I would be
able to get her on a computer at all. If she ever writes her memoirs,
it will most likely be on a manual typewriter. And she is 90.
