Over the course of my life, there are only a few things which can outshine this achievement: Teaching my parents how to use a computer.
Although I would personally guide them as they struggle (and scream) in front of the computer, they would often ask me to write up quick reference guides on doing certain tasks.
Let me share with you the first installment of the Mama & Papa Guide on Using the Scary Computer. I hope that, like me, you too would find a deep sense of accomplishment in introducing technology to your loved ones.
Is there a version for letter size paper?
Sorry suarez2001. I don\’t have a letter size version available. The paper size is purposely set to 1/2 letter (5.5\” x 8.5\”) to make it easier to carry around. I\’ll think about releasing it in other sizes in the future. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hello CHette, I can\’t wait for the next installments. This project is something my mom could really use. Thanks for doing this 8)
Tnx! I printed it out in 5 copies and gave it to my mom, my titas and their friends. They were grateful! The size of the fonts is readable also. its perfect!
