I can appreciate that. I got off-side with a couple of people at the
weekend who I occassionally look things up for on the web. They
both have 'puters but have not learned how to do the email and surf
(yeah, I know)

My offer to teach them, at least some basics, was received less
enthusiastically than expected. "Help me to help you" was the intent
but I think both took it as "I don't want to look things up for you
anymore if you can't be bothered". One is very busy and sees "learning
the internet" as just too hard. The other I suspect thinks he's too old
for all this new-fangled stuff

But how old is the web now ? It didn't arrive yesterday

I met someone a few weeks ago who won't go on the web because
"it's all porn. That all the guys at work talk about"
