    “are you typing the @ symbol, or are you typing the word at in the email address?”

    …wut??

    My father is 86, is fairly far down the slope of dementia, has a 5th grade education, has a hard time typing because he can’t really see the keys on the keyboard anymore, and still doesn’t do things like this.

    …maybe I got lucky?

      This occurred about 20ish years ago. Mom had never touched a computer in her life before getting the laptop.

      And, this is the same woman who got a new phone and sent me a text that said ‘do you like my new phone?’
