computers.. .that is.

It took me around 3-4 years to get good with a computer, yet my parents who've been using computers longer than me know a fraction of what I know. Damnit, I hate having to explain the simplest things to them.

Yes, I'm sure they felt the same way when they were potty training you.

They're older. They should catch on to things quicker, not slower.

Yes, and I'm apparently getting crankier as I get there as well. ;)

old people, in general, suck with technology. my mom, for example, took about 2 months to learn how to turn on the computer without my help :confused:

My mom works at home, primarily online and complains that she doesn't get enough done on the pc. I then cite when she takes 1hr to try to find out how to install adobe acrobat.

I have to go help my boss with his computer all the time. He hates computers and is always needing help with something. Everyone in the office gets a laugh out of it though, he even laughs about it.
