That's wonderful. I'm sure they will be fairly typical of Windows users from what you say, so we'll be delighted to have your record of their experience. > I think that what I'm going to do is to let them do the work while I > watch over their shoulders and make notes.

My sister is 60 and has no problem. She had a LOT of problems with Windows over time. As for me, I'm 68 and a bit too old to do coding at any speed. I used to write some pretty fair C code, but never really made the grade in C++ ... but then I've always been a bit of a geek. But I think my age is helping me to get into the non-geek mindset for this exercise! I really look forward to sharing your parents' experiences.
