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!!

Ah poor thing, I know I will have the same problems with my mum 
Although whenever I get annoyed, I try to remember that will be me in the future and no doubt, with the pace of modern technology my wonderful loving off spring will thinking the same about me
We me luck, I only have two and half weeks to achieve the impossible.
Take care,
C.L.O. xx

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

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

I have big plans when I get older to act like the stupidest technophobe in the world, just to wind my kids up.
. 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.JTL
