Training Suggestions for very new computer users

First post from the NYC All Database COaTI: one question that has come up already in Long Island City that other COaTI folks might be able to help answer:

How do other groups train very new computer users? Families for Freedom has four or five members working in their office, some of whom have never used a computer before and need help getting started with the most basic things.

Has anyone else tackled this? One thing we do a lot at LINC is have people play solitaire, because it lets you practice moving the mouse, dragging and double clicking in a low pressure environment. Does anyone have other suggestions for good exercises or resources online?
