They'll happily flip around a television remote on a smart TV. However, when faced with a tablet or even a Windows PC they start to get angry really fast. Instead of saying 'that didn't work, let's think about it a bit' they seem to get into a 'that didn't work, let's do stuff at random to get deeper in the shit' frame of mind.<br /><br /> My FIL is typical. I've seen him sitting at his laptop clicking away (no such thing as a single click. He learned double-click so uses it everywhere) as his laptop opens program after program and stores away actions to complete, draining every last ounce of memory and performance until nothing is working. Still he clicks, because obviously 'something will work' eventually. Then, he slams the lid and stamps off to do something else. <br /><br /> Mrs WilliamA is not nearly as bad as that, but she is easily frustrated by computers in general, and I don't want her getting fed up because she can't turn 'the record player' on. She may get the hang of AnyDesk which is on her laptop, in which case that's fine.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42301.142&return_msg=42301.141" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42301.142"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42301_143"></a><div class="message" id="message_42301_143"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: william (WILLIAMA)<span class="message_time">22 Jun 2019 13:23</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ANT_THOMAS <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 22 Jun 2019 20:10"></span></span> <span class="message_count">143 of 168</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42301.143">42301.143</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42301.141#a42301_141" target="_self">42301.141</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I am, indeed <span class="emoticon e_smile" title=":)"><span class="e__">:)</span></span><br /> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42301.143&return_msg=42301.141" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42301.143"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42301_144"></a><div class="message" id="message_42301_144"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">22 Jun 2019 13:27</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 22 Jun 2019 13:28"></span></span> <span class="message_count">144 of 168</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42301.144">42301.144</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42301.141#a42301_142" target="_self">42301.142</a></div> <div class="message_body"> You've just described ~90% of the tech users I typically encounter.

Is there any reason at all that they make MHF4 connectors so damn nearly impossible to fit? They are seriously tiny, made of incredibly thin, soft metal, lacking in a nice positive click if you do eventually fit the buggers. Lining the little fuckers up needs three hands and a magnifying glass. Then you need nerves of steel, because you have to push really, really hard - preferably with something like a flat screwdriver blade. For the first few goes I was nowhere near and I was beginning to think I'd bought the wrong bloody antennas again. Then I examined the fittings with a jeweller's lens and I could see that they <em>should </em>fit together (after some micro-surgery to reshape the bits I'd squished with previous attempts). <br /><br /> All done.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 4 Jul 2019 15:41 by WILLIAMA</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42301.148&return_msg=42301.141" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42301.148"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42301_149"></a><div class="message" id="message_42301_149"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time"> 4 Jul 2019 15:43</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 4 Jul 2019 16:37"></span></span> <span class="message_count">149 of 168</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42301.149">42301.149</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42301.141#a42301_148" target="_self">42301.148</a></div> <div class="message_body"> They are pretty shit to attach.
