How do they expect, in two hours, to get you typing a letter with no mis-spellings and no grammatical errors? I have come across secretaries who can't do that after years of experience!

On a lighter note, I once worked with a sec (at the Royal Free) who was totally computer illiterate, to her it was just a fancy typewriter. After she left every evening, I used to log on to her machine and change the screen saver, leaving her little messages as to what she had said/what had happened/etc during the day. She never cottoned on .... she used to say in amazement "It can hear me!! - It knows what I do!".

So, how to teach someone who has never used one in two hours ..........
