my son teaching husband how use computer still has not worked out how turn it on...he driving me to insanety
I make "cheat sheets" on 3x5 cards for my neighbor. I list the step-by-step directions for her for such things as how to scan, how to print, how to download photos, how to delete old emails, etc. I even draw the desktop icons on the cards. She kept insisting that her Favorites had disappeared, so on a card I described where they were and drew the icon, in color, on the card.
If something doesn't work, I tell her reboot, then follow the card instructions. If that still doesn't work, call me.
She's 85 and has an iPod Touch, iPad, and Windows 7 laptop with wireless printer/scanner, mouse, and keyboard (she doesn't like the laptop keyboard).
