Why can't you understand!?!

My mom just discovered e-mail at work. So she sends me lame jokes and chain-letter type things. Even if she doesn't send me something she'll come home and ask me if I received any e-mails today (from anyone) because she thinks it is neat.

My Dad's digital photos "disappear" on a regular basis when he tries to download them from his fancy new digi-cam.

I don't know how many times I've talked him through this over the phone and on the computer demonstrating it to him. It is one of the easiest (to me) processes going, but it just doesn't sink in. He's in his 60's, so maybe his brain is full...

He now has resorted to printing the pictures as a hard-copy at Wal-Mart straight off the flash card, and seems to be happy doing it. :P

I remember Atari video games, rotary phones and the first ATM machine, but five years after me, my little sister doesn't. I can email, do basic searchs, write on this forum and play solitare, but that's it. Glad to hear that I have a whole commitee of computer helpers at my disposal next time I get stuck....
