I'm gonna set up an oldish laptop for my grandmother to use.
I want it to be as simple as possible.
I think the only buttons there needs to be are:
Email
Internet
Saved Files
Shut Down
The problems I'm going to run into are these. She's using some shitty Earthlink Dial-Up right now. I'm going to try to get cable hooked up, that would be way easier. She's also using the earthlink email service. Do you think GMail would be easier than setting something up with Outlook?
I'm still at the beginning of this process, so any ideas would be super.
(Note: She has a lot of problems with being confused on her current computer. I think some of it has to do with the fact that she doesn't fully understand the connecting process to use dial-up and the fact that her current computer is from ancient times.
