Greetings,
Mom has a year old iMac I gave her last xmas running 9.2, ! gig of
memory and a 20 G HD, a SBC DSL connection, at 83 she is doing a heck
of a job getting connected , surfing the curl and e-mailing. So far we
have worked things out over the phone talking through the e-mail
programs, saving photos, etc, the easy stuff. Once she gets going she
is OK . But at times it is a little difficult to understand what a
gitchamagoo or a thingamagig is on her desktop from this end, ahh
kids.., they just do not understand .
Would like to get her scanning and setting up the family info in
Appleworks and a few other programs.
I am in Alaska, she is in Ohio so can't just run over there to set
things up.
I have a Pismo and have 9.2 or 10.2, jag is my primary now, I also have
a 6100 G3 8.6, all with only a dial up 28k connection, the price of
paradise.
Is there a way I could connect to her computer over my connection and
have complete access to her computer, desktop and files so I could run
her computer from here and she watches and learns as I tell her what is
happening and also watch what she does.
I am a little afraid to go on to 10.2 with her as if anything got
really messed up I probably would have to go to Ohio to get her e-mail
going... She has to have that e-mail now... Although if I had to, I
could set up a external hard drive with Jag on it for her, but more
$$$. I think I would also like to stay in 9.2 because of better
scanning options as far as hardware and software, please correct if
this is way off base. I have a Epson ES 1000 C that has served me
well, scsi, but thought something along that line would work for her,
just go to firewire
If there is any area that I am really weak at it is definitely linking
macs, I know easy as pie, I still have phone net connectors all over
the place that I am someday going to connect...well someday..
So, if there is any brave soul willing to advise please put forth any
solutions and a thousand tribbles shall be yours to give un to whom
ever you wish.
Thanks
Geoff
