I actually was able to teach my mom how to use the computer bit by bit. Now she already knows how to use email and messenger programs all by herself and get to talk with my sister in the US. She enjoys solitaire too. I'm still working on letting her use search engines and join social networking sites. I just let her use the computer to get familiarized with the programs.
Great program!!! Teaching our grandparents/elderly how to use the internet is really a very good campaign. The modules and you're approach is a big help for them to understand computers and the internet better.
More power! =)
