My 67-year old mom just bought her first computer a few months ago. She's pretty good at the point and click thing. She wants to learn Photoshop. We both got an easy video chat app (http://www.oovoo.com/) so that we can have conversations without her having to type. She got into the online poker thing too, which I think is very cute (as long as she's not using real money). She's always bragging to me about how much she won, but yeah, thankfully she doesn't play at the sites that are for money. She made an Everquest account too, but hasn't really played much yet. Anyone else have older relatives on the internet?

 Yeah, I do. I'm a girl, and I'm 30, so I'm grownup enough to think she's awfully cute. She figured out how to send me video e-mails using oovoo, I got one of her tap dancing. Definitely cute. I bet there's whole groups of old people on myspace and stuff.
Wow, she jumped farthur then my mom has and my mom has been using computers for years.Guiltfeeder566
Probably cuz the internet is a lot easier to use now than when your mom started. All the stuff my mom is using is really easy to use. I don't think my mom has realized yet that you can use the computer for useful things like paying the bills and shopping. She's too busy playing games and making video e-mails with oovoo. I should turn her on to ebay.
My parents were in the stone age for a long time, but I did get my dad to play Battlefield Vietnam with me a few years ago. He thought it was fun, so that's a good sign. And now my mom has a website and my dad downloads music all the time. :P
Keep her away from Myspace. That is when it goes from cute, to very weird. But if she wants to make an account here, tell her I can help her out.videogamer456
She should, then we can have another female on here to try and get lucky with.
