My 86 year olf mom, living in another city, is going crazy. We've equipped her with WebTV (Phillips) for e-mail , a Sony Trinitron, a VCR and Cable. She now has five remote controls and absolutely no concept of modes, power on/off, auxilliary power outlets, etc. She's always inadvertently pushing one button or another and getting frozen out (she's a very sharp lady, but mechanically impossible.
I'm going to visit her, and am wondering if someone can suggest a remote that I can program with sequences of commands for all her devices so I can label buttons (or number sequences) with "Go to E-Mail", "Watch TV", "Record Soap", "Turn off", etc, and then let her use these limited functions without ever thinking about it again. Large buttons would be heaven.
my personal e-mail is
[email protected]. She's about to melt down from frustration - this will save this woman's sanity, if anyone can lead me in the right direction.
Thanks a mill....
