My dad has been using a PC since 1999.
He STILL doesn't really quite understand the difference between
folders and files. Or why there's a "C" and a "D" drive on his computer.
But he uses OpenOffice and Firefox (and this fall, I'm moving him to
Thunderbird).
None of it is quite as easy as using a refrigerator (although to see
my wife cook, maybe a frig is harder to use than it looks), but File |
Save is File | Save, and pushing the button with the dark "B" makes
the highlighted stuff on the page darker, no matter if you're using
Word, OpenOffice, WordPerfect or The GIMP. And that's about all he
knows (or needs to know) to do.
Similar story with my dad. The difference between my dad versus the
wife/daughter: my dad is open-minded and willing to listen to an
explanation of how something works; the other two can't be bothered. ;-)
