APK,
Loved the bursting into tears line.
I really cannot convey how terrified she is of all this technology stuff -- she's a very strange mix of modern and luddite. She loves her iPad but doesn't use it for anything other than using Facebook; she loves her Sony but even after a video tutorial AND a paper tutorial by me (and I swear they're good -- I write tuts for a living, in a way), she still needs me or Dad just to load a library book on the device.
But you allowed her in the 3C, so I am satisfied. If you still want to meet a 3C'er, I can introduce you two, just don't say we met on the internet, because that would probably worry her a bit. There are stalkers on the internet, you know.
(Disclaimer: I love my mom, I owe her a lot, she's super smart... just not at all this ebook stuff.)
