thanks but no thanks

subject: grandma

body:  I spent a full hour trying to get grandma connected to her e mail, I knew I was almost there when I asked her doesn’t it say anywhere to click here for e mail and she said.  Yes, It says click here to check comcast e mail, but I don’t want to check their e mail I want to check mine” – at that hour it was time for me to hang up and have my piano lesson.  When I later called me back she said she finally figured out how to do it, but she needed to run an errand, but she did find your e mail, but wasn’t sure how to open the attachment – she said she would call you and if I thought if she found her way to your e mail, maybe you could walk her thru opening the attachment

i had asked my father to walk my grandmother through opening her e-mail so that she would be candid telling him what she thought of the attachments i sent.  it didn’t occur to him to also be on the computer while he navigated. i guess they are both geris.
