My 67-year old mom just bought her first computer a few months ago. She’s pretty good at the point and click thing. She wants to learn Photoshop. We both got an easy video chat app (http://www.oovoo.com/) so that we can have conversations without her having to type. She got into the online poker thing too, which I think is very cute (as long as she’s not using real money). She’s always bragging to me about how much she won, but yeah, thankfully she doesn’t play at the sites that are for money. She made an Everquest account too, but hasn’t really played much yet. Anyone else have older relatives on the internet?

@conive - Welcome to Esato ! There are times that I let my 85 year-old grandma WATCH me PLAY the counter-strike game - ONLINE ! Unfortunately, she CANNOT keep up with the pace . . . so she just settled for the TETRIS-game . . . version 1.0 (slow-motion) Edition !

lol I can't imagine my mom playing video games. She does well at the puzzle games and the card games. Thanks for the welcomes, by the way. I don't think mom has realized yet that you can use the computer for useful things like paying the bills and shopping. She's too busy playing her Winners Poker and making video e-mails with oovoo. I guess socializing is a useful thing. I should turn her on to ebay.

Good luck with teaching her Photoshop. The learning curve is quite steep for PS.

But a 67yo woman sounds pretty funky
