Okay fair enough and I'll grant you a lot of Windows users don't know much if anything about their computers.
Hell I'm in my 70s and am quite savvy about computers so perhaps since I'm savvy I figure so are others guess I taking to much for granted.
My apologies if any offense was taken with my statement in post #67 as not my intention.
Cheers.
You're 70 but you forget one important political factor. Whatever country you're from, it wasn't under Russian slavery (communism) for 55 years - from 1944 until 1989. During that time period ALL western technology, even western music and cars, was forbidden and any attempt to get yourself with one was severely punished by the government. I was told some people were even sent to concentration camps for trying to illegally import records with western music and considering what the commies did to my country in the first years of their oppression, I can't say I'm surprised. Those born in that period of time were and still are afraid of the western technology bc many of them haven't noticed yet that the communism is over. If you try to teach them how to even turn the computer ON, they react as if you're threatening their life. My mother and her cousin were born shortly after 1944. I somehow managed to teach my mom basic computer stuff but her cousin is a hopeless case. I suppose if I had been growing in fear for 40 or more years, I'd be the same as her, refusing to learn anything new, so that I don't get sent to a concentration camp.
Those of us born in the 80's grew up in the final years of the communism when the first arcade games appeared, thus we had some background of gaming technology. We also had consoles like Nintendo which came to our country almost immediately after the borders were open when the communism ended in 1989, western technology and music literally flooded us and a few years later the first computers were imported in the country, thus we heard about things like MS-DOS and (later) Windows 95. Since we already had the experience of arcade and console games + our brains weren't burdened with fear from the communist tyranny, we literally absorbed the new computers and quickly learned how to use them. Since there's no communism anymore, nowadays kids are almost literally born with either a keyboard or a smartphone in the hand and by the time they reach 1st grade age, they know more about computers and phones than their parents.
