Hi
Just found this picture on my digital camera which i lent to my mother inlaw (if you do recognise her dont tell her it was me!) I coundnt stop laughing! She was holding the camera the wrong way round. Im not holding out much hope for teaching her to use the internet or a web cam when we go to Aus but at least we've got 18 months to try!!

Mrs Wol thinks that if she goes anywhere near the comfuser, tentacles will emerge from between the keys and drag her down below earth to become goblin food. I believe the term is "technophobia..."

Mind you, whenever I have a nasty session with Windoze at its crassest, I feel the same way.

Lol - sounds like my OH. He is bloody useless and always ready for a rant about 'bloody computers' yet he has no idea about them. I doubt he could find the power switch - yet alone open Internet explorer :rofl:

Well. put it this way, do you have a site on myspace? Do you listen to podcasts on your mp3 player? Do you say something is 'book' when you mean its cool?

If the answer to any of the above is no, then you are on the slippery slope to oldfogeyville.

Personally I'm on a sled at high speed down that slope :p

Did it ever occur to you she did it on purpose? To leave you with a photo of her to remember her by?

I have big plans when I get older to act like the stupidest technophobe in the world, just to wind my kids up.:sneaky:. You know, set the webcam up to point at the computer screen. 'Accidentally' take multiple pictures of my thumb and send them as attachments. Post Word documents instead of pictures on flickr, that kind of thing.
