Thanks Peter … I will take a look at that. I agree with Ronni’s sentiments too. But I am a Mac User just trying to assist my elderly mother.
Tell you what though ! About 12 months ago I thought I would become a member of the Yorkshire Mac Users Group (YMUG) in the UK simply because that is my childhood stamping ground. Well …. I have never seen so much NON MAC related chatter. It is more like a social club. Stuff like: Going bike riding on Saturday from X to X. Who would like to join me and finish at the X pub for a few pints? Went to Spain for a couple of weeks and had a great holiday. Etc, Etc. I got so fed up with it I have tried to block the emails from members. But I am still struggling to stop them all using RULES. Can’t wait for my membership to expire. > On 22 Dec 2014, at 7:49 am, Peter Hinchliffe <hinch...@multiline.com.au> > wrote: > > >> On 19 Dec 2014, at 6:23 pm, Stephen Chape <chap...@bigpond.com> wrote: >> >> Thanks Ronni, >> I know all that stuff …. and I am constantly trying to convert her. >> And I will KEEP ON trying ! >> >> She may soon go into a nursing home so I am trying to convince her to get an >> iPad. >> That way she can retain her internet and email without having too much >> “stuff” at the home. >> > > As much as I echo Ronni’s sentiments on this list, I do appreciate your > dilemma!
