Yesterday my wife called me at work with a question about MS Word and
adding/importing clipart. I didn't know enough to talk her through it
over the phone, best I could offer was "press F1 to bring up the Help
dialogue, use the search function there and follow the directions."
Right after I said that, our 8-year old (who was home sick with a
fever) happened upon the scene, and I hear "I can show you Mommy,
press this..." and help was rendered (and I was off the hook, both
figuratively and literally).
I'm thinking we should get the 8-year old a cell phone so Momma can
call her with her "help desk" questions.

So the new MamaML has a deal where you can talk to it and tell it
what to do. You push a button on the steering wheel then you tell
it to navigate to some address or place you have saved, or change
the radio or music on your pod or call someone or do various other
things. She has tried it but apparently they don't understand
each other too well yet. She finds the soul in the machine to be
pleasant enough, however, when it tells her what to do, unlike her
views toward me while doing the same. It has also assimilated her
phone into it so it can call people or send texts or do other
things phone-wise, and apparently can also suck in 10GB or 80GB of
music to its memory banks.
I find this whole thing somewhat disturbing yet intriguing.
It has a rotating pushbutton mouse joystick sort of thing too to
whiz around the screen if you don't want to talk to it. The
instruction book is about 400 pages long.
