I feel like I should insert some sort of reference to fletching here. Maybe that could be her wallpaper?

Ugh, do you mean felching? Introduce Gran to "Two Girls, One Cup" and your work will be done.

Yeah. My mistake. I don't actively look up that kind of stuff so misspellings happen.

One word. Goatse.

Well this is a granny so maybe it's best to go with the old school and put up Mr. Hands. Besides, this is the modern age, we can load up as many home pages as we want through the power of tabbed browsing.

Who said OP didn't do that? I've tried explaining how a desktop works to my mother (desk, folders, files, already a simple enough analogy), but she still doesn't understand that she can move windows, and that they're not lost or gone forever when you minimize them. Their brains are just wired differently, since they did not grow up with technology, so it's tough getting through to them sometimes.

But you can only dumb it down so much

And just because you taught your grandma, every grandchild in the world should be able to do it also, and have their grandma learn just as well as yours? Some old people just cannot understand it. There's nothing complicated about it.

No I don't actually thanks for asking. And they think it's too complicated obviously because they don't understand. I just said the top thin box is the thing you put websites in. Say you want to use google put www.google.com into that bar. I told her how to use good etc etc and she knows the things she needs to kno (basics)
