Don't feel bad Rippy... took me forEVER to explain to my then 70+ year old mom how to scan pictures to attach to email... she couldn't figure out where they went once you scanned them, and how you could "attach" something to a letter that you couldn't see...
On the flip side, she knew how every single damper, lever, and opening on a woodburning cookstove worked, and what it would do for you when baking, frying, or broiling. It's all technology... just different.
