For family members, it is often the most difficult and painful decision they will face: to accept that a loved one — a parent, a spouse, perhaps a sibling — is technologically impaired and should no longer be allowed to live independently, or come near a computer or electronic device without direct supervision. The time has come to place that loved one into the care of an Assisted Computing Facility. But you have questions. So many questions. We at Silicon Pines want to help.

I think my son is ready to commit me.
Check your spaces for me! I am about as computer illiterate as they come. Would I have to wear a helmet? It would mess up my hairdo!
I just look at the FReepers who can put pictures up or enlarge the print as “awesome”. Some will simply add a picture to something I said or enlarge the print. True, kind people (although I think they snicker when they do it but I’m not sure)
This is a good course. Although the "crash test" leaves a lot of people feeling like dummies. If they ask you to wear a helmet, the hairdo should be the least of your concerns.
I know I know, I am reminded daily of the stuff I can’t do! ~sob~
Maybe all that time I spent learning to draw and paint could have been spent learning to freep better. :/
LOL!! Well, then leave two empty seats on the short bus for Ditter and me!

YOU KNOW HOW TO DRAW AND PAINT! (hang head in shame... I can’t even draw stick figures and the last time I painted... let’s just say that numbers were involved). To be fair, the unicorn did look rather nice after I added some velvet. /s
Computers are easy. Been working with computers since ‘74 or so.
It’s cell phones I can’t digest. Just give me a phone with 3 buttons - take a picture, make a call, check my messages... I DO NOT NEED all that other junk, I REALLY DON’T WANT a 300 page user manual!!
SEE THAT! Gargoyle knows how to add pictures. Creepy pictures, yes... but he knows how to make them suddenly appear! He’s magical!!
ie. Those that will send you an email with an empty attachment.
I try to keep my parents ignorant. When they start learning those little tricks, they make stuff like this:

You try to read the manual for a phone? That’s like reading a manual for your VCR—it’s just not done!
AAAHHHH!!! MY EYES!
My boss told me I needed to learn how to text. I asked him if that meant I should get a cell phone First?
OMG, can I committ myself?
