That's okay.  My mother is around that age and started using a computer
about a year ago.  She doesn't want to be a hot-shot programmer or even
anything remotely related to an IT professional.  No time for that just
yet, what with a full time job as a teacher in primary school and all
the rest of the stuff she does at home.

Yet, she has actually managed to learn quite an astonishing amount of
things by spending a total of less than 200 hours during a period that
lasted almost a year and a half.

So, it's not impossible to learn using a computer even at this age.  I'm
not saying it's easy either, mind you.  But it *can* be done ;)
