[X4U] Advice sought on a Mac book for an elderly beginner-level user.

[Jamie Kahn Genet]

Thinking on this again it occurs to me you may have confused what I
said. _I_ am the admin user. They are of course standard users. No way
am I giving clueless users admin accounts. But unless it's really a
kid you can't lock adults - even clueless ones - out of too much on
their own computer. They start to realise what's happening and don't
like it (however useful it may be).
