Folks, this may be slightly OT, but I retired last year and have been a
volunteer at our local Senior Center coaching and teaching Seniors who have
NEVER used a computer. All I can tell you is the first rule is to have
PATIENCE!!!!! The worst part is when I tell them to move the mouse cursor
somewhere on the screen, it it's like watching grass grow waiting for the
cursor to arrive at it's appointed location! But I enjoy it, and there is no
financial remuneration!

If 4,999 out of 5,000 times you don't need to type something in a field, you
will stop even looking at the field, much less registering what it says.

Oh, yeah... seen that sort of thing a couple times. Even had MY admin
account locked out because a user didn't notice to change MY name to theirs
in the login box. :D
I, too, have users who can't remember their login name (despite the fact
that it's the first half of their email address! *grin*) and can't figure
out why they can't log in... 'Course they're always embarrassed about that
when I see the problem, but still. :D

Didn't they have enough sense to log on
as the correct user before calling???
Shall we compare notes:)
Recently I was called to a desk of a lady who was pissed off six ways
to Sunday at me as she couldn't log in. She was typing her password
into someone else's username, and proceeded to lock their account
out?
After that, another one gave me shit that she couldn't remember her
login name that she had been using on her desktop daily for years and
her iphone?
I was like "Stare, blink, blink, stare..." My bad, I guess?
