aww, sounds like my ma.  no, actually my ma barely even uses the atm.  i guess you'll have to send her another e-mail gently reminding her about the wonderful world of e-mail!

It could be worse, JD.  My mom won't have an ATM card.  She has tons of credit cards so she is well versed in the use of plastic-fantastic.  She just doesn't trust "those money machines".  She thinks there is a trick to it.  I've explained it to her a thousand times... how the fees work at 'foreign' ATMs.  How the check card functionality works.  Not having it.


Oh yeah... I also tried to get her to use a calling card once while she was on a road trip. Instructions right on the back.  She couldn't cope.

Reminds me of the old guy who came into Radio Shack when I worked there, he brought in his cordless phone 3 times and told me it didn't work. I would plug it in and it was just fine. Finally after the 3rd time I asked him to show me what he was doing. He picke it up held it like a walkie talkie and said Hello, Hello! Over..

DOH!  My mom does get the functionality of a cell phone.  My sister finally got her one because she works nights and travels frequently.  I was totally amazed that she was willing to use it.

My mom is almost the same way - she'll write up what she wants to say and gives it to my dad to email me.  She doesn't even like the pc.  My parents recently got a cell phone because they're going to do quite a bit of traveling this summer - I just know only my dad will end up using it!  Thankfully my dad is very "technology" minded.

My ma does actually have a PC. I set her up with internet access so she could e-mail me and my sister.  That lasted about 1 day.  She refused to go check her e-mail, then subsequently disabled the internet access because she thought someone was going to read her e-mail.  Not like my brother or the grandkids... you guessed it... the government. That was way before whole domestic surveillence thing came out.  It's not as if she has never experienced e-mail before.  She only retired from her secretarial job a couple years ago.  Is worth noting that she was a secretary working for the federal government...

When my dad first got his limited ham radio license, we talked quite a bit. He would get very frustrated at mom because legally, she could talk to me on it as long as he was there, but she would't talk to me for nothing . . . instead, she'd sit back and say "Tell him blah blah, don't forget to ask him blah blah".
