1119948 2010-07-19 07:34:00 The old people I have dealt with on dialup hardly ever use their computers because their dialup is so slow, but they don't want to upgrade to broadband because they don't spend enough time on the computer. They are also fond of complaining that they are always the last to get photos or news from family members because everything is digital these days. Greven (91)

It's a Catch 22 situation. :(

I suspect that my Dad doesn't use the internet as much as he could because he doesn't really know how. I have shown him and even written out instructions but he's forgotten it all by the next time he switches the PC on.

Still, it's pretty good that he's managed to use email at least. :thumbs:

Bit like my parents, emails me now and then for advice, despite me typing up/sending them instructions . They seem scared of online banking, which I'm trying to get them to do . They generally only use email to contact family members overseas or read the news .
