Are your relatives computer literate?

In my immediate family, I suppose my brother is half as literate as I am. He mostly sits on the computer and plays with GarageBand, but he knows how to type up reports, etc. He's got an Apple, though. We've got a PC. I haven't used an Apple since 6th grade.

My parents can turn the computer on, that's a start. My mom uses a computer at work, mostly uses Excel but she doesn't know what any of the buttons do and she only inputs text. Her biggest accomplishment is changing her desktop image a million times in a week...but she's fairly quick at typing, she can use Google, but I almost always have to come and redefine her searches, and I'm teaching her how to use Limewire. She knows how to burn her own CDs with WMP (easiest program for her to use). I'm thinking I might take my old computer class pamphlet with all the tutorials for MS Office and give her assignments to do so so she can learn what all the functions are in Excel.

My dad types with his index fingers and it takes him about half an hour to type up 3 complete sentences. But I chalk that up to him not being good with words in general. There is a cardboard box next to the computer and I can see several of his scribblings where he attmepts to work out how to spell words ("buisness," "bisuness," etc.) instead of using spell check features. Apparently he can use the internet only to book vacations and waste all our money on eBay, but I always have to proofread everything he writes.

I do everything else, I set up the computer, I take it apart and clean it, I maintain it, I install/uninstall things, yadda yadda yadda...but even with all that, I'm pretty basic in my knowledge. I still cannot figure out what the fuck a NAT problem is and why I can't get rid of it for Azureus. The Azureus wiki FAQ is like Latin to me.

I don't know anything about the rest of my family. I assume that my closest cousins are fairly literate, about as much as I am. One of my uncles is great with computers, though. He was the very first of all of us to have one, I remember playing Doom and ...I think Wheel of Fortune on his computer when I was in elementary school.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
