On the contrary, I think perhaps that a lack of computer awareness might
just be an advantage in that there are no preconceived notions of how an
application should behave. I can setup the .muttrc file according to how
she wants to use Mutt. There is no requirement for commonly used
key-bindings as her use of the keyboard at the moment, within windows,
is limited to entering text. Even moving between fields in a form
involves the mouse rather than the Tab key.
