@Deozaan: I know I can left click, but I prefer to hit the large "object" of an icon, rather than have to position my mouse over this 32x32 tray icon.-wreckedcarzz (March 08, 2008, 09:09 PM)
TaeKwonDo is Korean... karate is a Japanese derivative of Kung Fu... Watch it, Deozaan, you'll be ruffling some feathers (heh, heh - pun accidental)-Darwin (March 07, 2008, 06:53 PM)
Oh, and whenever I get a "tech support call" (that's someone yelling down the stairs for help), my first step is to ask if they've restarted the machine. Works 90% of the time.-mwb1100 (March 07, 2008, 06:38 PM)
i'm sure we've all heard the saying "if ain't broke don't try to fix it" or something like that.
i think something similar is appropriate for people afraid to try anything on their computer, i.e. "if it ain't working, don't try to click it" - or something like that.
hmm, that's actually the opposite of what they should be doing though, maybe "if it ain't working, just click it" or "if it ain't working, please, just have a try, go on, just click it - it won't explode, believe, i'm not lying to you".-nudone (March 07, 2008, 11:33 AM)

Mine too! I've done three versions of my handwriting as a font... but I need to standardize the placement of the letters in the squares as I keep varying it too much and the result is not natural. Need some pointers from Nosh and Deozaan, I guess-Darwin (March 07, 2008, 08:43 AM)

thanks for the helpful suggestions everyone. i've set a gmail account up for them. they are likely to actually forget what email provider they are using after they've been abroad so picking an obvious one like google will help them remember - i hope.
this couple would win the award for most clueless pc users ever - bearing in mind they have had a computer since the windows 95 days.
i've made a new post about them here.-nudone (March 01, 2008, 02:31 AM)
