Have you tried educating her?

I've been teaching my mum recently, and we've been going nice and
slow. She's 60+ and never had a computer before, this is her first.
Last week she was practicing mouse control by playing Solitaire, this
week she was importing photos from her camera and removing red eye :)

She's very much a non-technical person, having difficulty tuning in an
analog radio. So having someone to help her is very important. Bad
things happen of course, things don't work as she expects and I'll
have to deal with those issues as they come up.

Cheers,
Al.
