That woman could be my MIL. My husband spent an hour trying to help her set up a hotmail account, then she thought that her e-mail from her other account ( that she couldnt remember the password for) would automatically be in the NEW hotmail account.

Unfortunately this is part of my job currently.. I've been through a lot worse than this.. it's sad when you can't convey to someone how to open their internet browser.

"What's internet explorer?"

It's like when you get on the phone with people and start talking about anything with computers they get like a deer in headlights.. the simplest tasks are too hard for them.

OMG, that woman is the guy that replaced my position here in Iraq, as well as my old boss. Not a smidge of computer sense between them... and our job is relatively computer-intensive, at least in the sense of we do a lot of work in Office (obviously Outlook, Word, PowerPoint and Excel) and AutoCAD.

I had to sit down with my replacement and give him a tutorial on PowerPoint, since we use it a lot to do simple site maps and site designs to request funding for construction projects here on base. You would think drawing boxes and writing text on a slide wouldn't be that hard to figure out.... apparently, for the computer illiterate, it is.

I frequently had to avoid giving the guy my "are you fucking serious?" look.
