My brother in law who is 73 years old is thinking of getting a computer.
He knows very little about pcs or how to set one up, if I lived nearer I could give him some hands on help.
Like all newbies he thinks it is more difficult than it is!
He would probably only use it to surf the net and send e mails.
He has attended some afternoon lessons for OAPs but as he hasn't a pc/laptop he forgets what he has learned from one week to the next.
Is there anyone or an organisation in Sheffield which could help him set one up and give him a few lessons?
