A few years ago Mum did a CLAIT (Computer Learning & IT) course at the local college. She was around 70 at the time. It covered all the basics including Microsoft things. Quite funny because I work in IT & she was asking me how do I do..... Then she did databases in Access & was quite upset I know nowt about Access because I've never used it.
After the CLAIT course she was certainly comfortable using the x86 PC I gave her, to with club letter etc.
