<< Here is what I showed her...

How to use it to take pictures (open it, zoom, close it)
How to hook it up to the computer (USB :))
How to get into the camera to copy the pictures to the drive
How to copy the pictures to the drive
How to rename the pictures
How to delete the pictures from the camera
How to "Unplug or Eject Hardware" and unplug the camera

Took half an hour and 2 pages of notes. :Q I don't even know if she's gonna do it right...needless to say I am making a user name for her and putting some heavy ass restrictions on it. Her computer doesn't have USB (it's a p166mmx :p).

:Q

It's really,really nice of you to help your Mom in that way.One thing that might help her learn and remember more is to focus on getting her to see how much FUN using the camera will be.My own family seems to learn more quickly when they are relaxed and not afraid of making a mistake and breaking something.

the rule is NOT about any women being talked about.

the rule is that, hot chick posts must be accompanied by "niiiiiiiiiiice" pics of said chick(s).

OMG! Back in my early computing days I accidently left a Windows 2K CD in the drive because I was going to install it but decided I would wait til later because it was getting late. When I got home from work the next afternoon my mom had turned on the computer and it booted from the CD and she tried to wing it. When I finally figured out what she did she had it format one of my drives to NTFS when my others were FAT32 so they didn't recognize the drive. The drive she installed it on was the one with all my back up files. Plus it set up the boot manager at startup which took some research to remove since it stuck around even after I formatted the drive Win2K was on. The computer was whacked for a while but I learned a lot fixing everything.

OMG, that was a perfect comeback Zippy, like for real.

I hope you kno I'm just messing, and I PROLLY won't let this thread die.

Think about it: Poor guy comes to the OFF TOPIC forums, just to inform us that he just showed his mom how to use a Digital Camera, and being the perverts we are, decided to ask for pics of his mom.

Hilarious.
