Grandmother writing her first email using gmail!

Here is a video clip of my Grandmother writing her very first email at the age of 89. She got her new computer 6 weeks ago and we have been waiting for her broadband connection to be setup. I am amazed at how well she can use her computer. She has never owned a typewriter. She has a Vista PC from Medion. As you can see in the video clip she is using Gmail! Thanks Google for keeping Gmail's interface simple to use!
