Hi all I would like to back up what Jenny has said as I started to learn how to use the computer at the age of 71 and now at 72 and still learning ,it takes a bit longer but I think I am getting there ,I would have hated to get a computer that I had to keep paying to update ,after all when you can see you buy the best car you can afford and not a cheaper version thinking you'll get another later ,so please allow people to make their own decisions on what they want only if the people who teach computer skills know what they are advising us learners . Thankyou for allowing me to say what I think . My good wishes to everyone Keith -----Original Message----- From: Jenny coupe - Email Address: jenny.coupe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent On: 25/08/2009 13:51 Sent To: guide.chat @freelists.org - Email Address: guide.chat @freelists.org Subject: [guide.chat] Oldies Hi all Please could I say to those young people proposing that us oldies can't learn ,so need a programme more simple than guide, we can learn, it might take a bit longer but please don't patronise us.
