Thanks! I just thought I would give a little update. I gave my mom the K2 (she loved it) and helped her set it up with some books and whatnot. I did run into a tiny snafu with the cheat-sheet guide though. She uses an older laptop with a smallish screen and runs at 1024x768. The screen shots pretty much filled the screen on her monitor and made it hard to use. I figure the simplest solution is to print it out for her. It is tempting to shrink the graphics more but then they become unreadable. It might be a good idea to shrink them in the wiki and have them be clicked to expand them...then again the point is to make it accessible for someone not too familiar with computers. lol.
