So my wife had terrible trouble getting Firefox started on her old little netbook which I luckily bought a dup of knowing that otherwise we would have fought over it.
Once every couple of months she'd have me start it up and get her to Firefox.
So then I bought her an ancient Android phone (Motorola MB860 Atrix) with a cheap (market-busting?) 7-11 Speakout pay-per-non-use 1 year expiry.
And of course it worked on WiFi at home. And before she got it I preset some useful bookmarks etc. (not to mention loading Firefox).
And so now she can actually turn it on herself and start using Google.
But then one day she started asking why sites keep telling her to never ask for them again. By which my wife understood "Do not request this site again using your device". Sorry I never really made that clear, did I? Or did I?
Eventually she let me look over her shoulder (she's rather possessive about using her phone herself most of the time) and I realize it's Google location services requesting location for the particular site and saying something like...
[ ] Provide location for this site.
[X] Don't ask again for this site.
Aren't there supposed to be professional people who proof-read things looking for likely misinterpretations?
Actually eventually, I realized the worst thing about a phone that old is that Youtube is unreliable. Oh no! Weird Al fails! Perhaps the RCA tablets will be useable by her?
