My father (78-9) touched the 'update' thing on Ubuntu and fairly
effectively hosed his
laptop; now into week 4 of a trans-Europe (England-Bulgaria) e-mail
attempt to "unhose"
things . . .
She did, and she was very alert for anomalies after that. Screen sharing is
a great thing for helping aging parents. She was pretty good online until

I want to agree in general, but we're not completely representative of the
