Old people suck at this. I've explained to dozens how to cut and paste. Somehow years go by and, whether I show them keyboard shortcuts, right clicking or even using menus they still miss it.

People in their 60's today were in their 40's when computers became common in the workplace, and they were using things like WordPerfect at that time, which was all keyboard shortcuts. Unless they're getting senile, they've got no excuse for not knowing how to use a computer.

Unless they weren't in a workplace that performed word processing.
