Hey guys,
My mom got her desktop today (p4 2.4ghz 512mb ram Xp pro). I've just set up a internet connect via my router & a Ecable. In the middle of setting up some anti-v software, firefox etc and was wondering if anyone here knew of some software or guides she could use to help get her started as shes never even used a computer before  I could explain to her the basics but i forget shes not tech savy and tend to ramble on about things she wouldnt understand. Basicly if i said 'Right click your pictures shortcut' shes ask how... So is there any really basic & simple guides out there? Cheers.
