Hi all,
My 84 year old mother's first generation OS9 blue iMac died just
before Christmas. Being the good son that I am I perused eBay and
purchased her a slightly used iMac G5 with OS 10.5 installed. Now the
headaches begin.
After 7 plus years of using her computer she barely understood OS9
and called me for help on a regular basis. Now that she has OS 10.5
she's completely lost. I would like to get her a very simple book
that she can look things up in before calling me for help. I was
thinking of one of the "for Dummies" books but was wondering if you
guys know of a better one? Please keep in mind that this is a woman,
God love her, that still calls me up to ask why she can't send an e-
mail to http://www.somedomain.com, or she calls in panic saying half
the long letter she just wrote to her sister is missing. To which I
ask her to click on the little up pointing arrow to scroll back to
the top of the page. WOW, there's the missing part of her message.
The book I need HAS to be simple.
Thanks,
