Here's the real reason why so many famous, rich older folks never use the Internet

My mom is 81....: At 75, she said she wanted a computer. We didn't want her to spend money for a door stop, so we started her off on WebTV. A year later, after learning to surf the net, print recipes, send email, you name it, we bought her a pc. Now, Granny hangs 10 while surfing the net and she's an online gamer. Being a widow, it keeps her company and keeps her off the streets.

Seriously, for an 81 year old, she even troubleshoots ("I know it's the Google popup blocker, I just don't know how to turn it off.") She's THAT good. I'm proud of her.; Posted by: MGP2 Posted on: 11/30/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
