Are there good resources for teaching someone how to use email?

Anna

I need to teach a 60+ year old how email and the internet works. I need visuals and a clear way to explain it. The person I am trying to teach doesn't like computers & technology, but does realize the significance of it in the world today. I'm having a difficult time trying to explain it since it comes so naturally to me.

Answer
Internet for Dummies is a good source. I got it for my elderly parents after my brother and I, who both live away, finally convinced them that a computer would be fun and beneficial. I don't like the titles of the books but they are good for basic starting info.
