Silver surfers

My mum has never been particularly into computers or technology, but has recently bought a laptop so she can use the internet to shop online and find information, although she has no desire (as yet) to embrace the delights of social networking. Michael’s mum on the other hand, has been a “silver surfer” for some time and forwards me several “funny”/”touching” emails each week (most of which have been doing the rounds for years!) Last week, I helped her set up her Facebook account (several hours later, she was still finding friends and looking through photos on her friends’ pages!).
