Grammar:

Favorite Line:
Did it read “on/off” like a standard switch? Or even “power?” No, of course not! It’s some sort of funky symbol. And for what purpose, if not to stop someone like me dead in my tracks? Well, it almost worked. But not quite.

This made me laugh out loud.

Overall Impression:
This was a funny piece about a mother trying to figure out how to use a computer.

Suggestions for improvement:
I'm not a big fan of using capitalization or extra spaces (s l o w l y) to emphasize what you're trying to say. Your writing should be able to do that *Smile*.

Overall Impression:
Some of the questions were really hard (but not too hard), but that just shows that you spent the time to go through fellow member's portfolios and guest books.

I like the use of color and the little pots of gold. Too bad they didn't have gems to go with your theme.

I would like to see you state in the into which names you are looking for. I assumed it was the most used, but you know what they say about assuming *Smile*. It might make it easier just to state which ones.
