I doing this to exchange data with someone who is a total technophobe. 
It's only possible because the typewriter someone else gave him is not a 
complete dinosaur and when I told him it was actually a computer he got 
flustered.

I've promised him a simple guide and that it will be really easy for him. 
If the disks start throwing up errors he'll lose all faith in what I'm 
trying to do.

If, on the other hand, it all works well I hope that he'll build up 
confidence and I can give him a real computer with 'net access which will 
make my life so much easier.

He's already been told that he must start using email from on high but is 
very resistant to the idea (for fairly good reasons).
