Son, who lived in Japan at the time, came over for holiday, bought me an iMac & though I'd never switched a computer on, even, had to learn to email in a very short time.<BR/>Next visit he brought a camera & set up webcams. Had to learn how to do that! Was LOVELY to see the grand daughters & talk to them!<BR/>Now he & family live with me (Temporarily) and he has set me off blogging!<BR/>So your mum will do the same.

She got a used computer a while back, took some beginner lessons, but she hated even having the computer in her office. It gave her anxiety just to think about it.

But my dad does well - he buys everything on ebay these days, and has been busy building computers out of second hand bits and bobs. And yet he can't do text messages yet! Go figure.<BR/><BR/>Another funny thing - my mother-in-law kept sending me texts when she was away to see how I was doing on chemo, and at the end she'd put 'lol'. I thought how inconsiderate. laugh out loud? Not funny at all. Then I realised she meant 'lots of love'!hesitant scribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11882920406681074895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408579395752156780.post-32111579561279788542008-03-20T15:39:00.000+00:002008-03-20T15:39:00.000+00:00That's great.
