only to discover 5 minutes in we were discussing two *very* different things but with very similar aspects.

Responses:

Wife has the responsibility of teaching middle-aged nurses who've never used a computer before how to use a computer for work. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 17, 11:39 6
- ?? what, are these 3rd world immigrants? a middle aged person now would have been in their 20's when computers became part of our daily lives -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 17, 11:41 5
  - Not everybody's life has been like yours. -- nm - mara Jun 17, 11:53
  - It's a shocking percentage. Of 10 that she has trained in the past two weeks, 5 were utterly clueless. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 17, 11:43 3
    - My brother has a similar responsibility. He's trying to get middle aged doctors and nurses in rural KY clinics to use iPads. - loosilu Jun 17, 11:45

No, cut a hole in the *side* of the box. Yes, just one hole. Guh. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 17, 11:29 1
- ok, this is funny -- nm - zork Jun 17, 11:30 1
I hate those, and when I know there's something fundamental being misunderstood and try to diagnose what, the other person seems to get offended. -- nm - mara Jun 17, 11:26 1
- A popular expression is "explain it to me like I'm a five-year-old." But nobody likes it when you take the initiative. - Dr.Vermin Jun 17, 11:36 1
"ohhhh, *rooting*" -- nm - Max Jun 17, 11:26
