Hey- just want to thank you all who gave me ideas with the laptop project. I am now in CA with my disabled Sis in law, on a few day computer blitz to get her all set up.
The look on her face when she said, " I woke up at 3 and emailed my brother in Mexico" was precious. Online banking is going to make her life SOOOOO much easier. It's been a little intense, reviewing old tasks she used to know, and new ones, both basic computer and internet. How much can I teach and can she absorb in a few days? Whew.
The only real fiasco was trying to set up a wireless printer. Oh boy, what a pain. Three hours of dicking around and I took it back, got one she'll need to plug into when she wants to print. Oh well.
My only real question/ need is a good link on touch pad controls. I am lukewarm on what all you can do. I KNOW it's like a two button mouse but I have a hard time translating it sometimes. Anyone know a good link with simple instructions?
thanky all!
