well as one of the senior residents here on the board I take offence to you younguns hammering your poor parents! IF you would have taken the time MUCH earlier in life to help train them they wouldnt be so insecure about the World Wide Web and how they can get to the porn!
I have seen young Engineers and Technologists come out of University/College "supposedly" with good knowledge and understanding of computers and especially with AutoCadd. Its funny watching them try to do drawings in Excel or some other program not even remotely connected to Design.....how do you explain to these young whippersnappers that they should actually read the program name before opening it?

I can outcomputer the majority of the young people I know...except those that do it for a living.
Gentlemen...draw your gu...errrr mouse!
:unsure:
I actually don't really view it as an age thing. I just use my parents because my brother lives out of town so I am now officially "MOM & POPS TECHSUPPORT".

I show them how to do the SAME thing over and over and over and over....

They just don't understand the basic concept of the computer. I keep telling my dad "Its like an electronic filing cabinet..."

Sigh. My work will never be done.
