OK, so can you really do it?
Can you answer the following for an idiot like me to understand?
If possible
No computer jargon
No abbreviations
No scoffing, coughing, "I can't believe-it"-ing :-)
1) What is HTML and why does it matter if someone posts in HTML? (easy one to
start with??)
2) How do you know if you are in HTML?
3) Why do attatched files arrive as lots of little boxes instead of proper
type?
What should I do to put it right?
Is the answer different for AOL users compared to Outlook Express users?
4) Why do mouse pointers not move properly so you have to keep moving the
mouse around? Is it down to a poor quality mouse, the wrong sort of surface or
does it happen to everyone?
Sorry if I just asked why does 2+2 =4
5) Is there a really easy, basic, "computers for ignorant users" book which
answers questions like mine?
