Hey, I bet I can beat him at Tetris! LOL!! I spent 30 minutes on the telephone with my father who was having trouble getting IE open. My kids and I gave him a computer, set it up with his email and stuff to open with one click, etc.

He called, said nothing would open when he clicked on it. He described what was happening and he was getting the pop-up menus. Right off, I figured he was using the right mouse button, but he insisted he was using the left one. I said, well then, use the right one!

Voila! Everything worked just right. I was trying to figure out how his settings had got changed to switch the buttons… when it finally dawned on me to ask whether the buttons were at the top or bottom of his mouse. He had it upside down.

I have the same problem with my husband. He’s only recently started ‘browsing’ and it’s painful to watch. He still doesn’t quite ‘get it’.
This is a guy, who 2 yrs ago, thought the rules for ‘tetris’ was to see how quickly one could fill the screen with shapes.

haha, this is a 1984 Mazda… what tailgate? That piece resides in the backyard junkheap at present.

I do appreciate the freely given advice. Now I have to go Google K&N filters.

Eh, tell him to drive with the tailgate down and use K&N filters.
