Sorry I'm half awake so haven't fully read this but I do have a suggestion. Sometimes it works to "show" people. That being said you could make an animated gif or video/screencapture showing how to do a few things. If people see it how it's done and can watch it a few times sometimes it's worth more than trying to write it out unless they seem specifically more text oriented. If they were using linux I'd have to say have them look at mandrakes site as it has somethings done in the animated gift with text way to help newbies.(demo section)

the others probably wouldn't take the time. They need very to the point for what they want to do. Probably just stick with what we're doing until I move out, then they'll be on their own again.

I do have VNC on my grandparents machine for remote support. I wont leave granny stranded. The younger ones just need to learn.
