This is the comments thread for the article The older IT user (treat them kindly). Should you wish to read the article follow this link.

A nicely-put-together piece indeed; and extremely useful - since the golden-age computer users are becoming a bigger and bigger part of the general population. Kudos, Monkey Business!

Well Done Monkey! Congratulations!!

This one will hit 'the presses' in record time, as there is virually not much editing/formatting to do!

Thanks for a great article.

Great job. No comments here for me apart from superbly written.

Well written. Living deep in the country setting I too find myself teaching those older than I the basics of how to run that shiny new contraption their kids bought them for Christmas so they can keep in touch and if I have learned anything in the process it is to put them in the drivers seat and let them operate the mouse as I talk them through it rather than try and show them. I can click at the speed of a snail and they still have a hard time following my pace.
