NTF2,I am saying that a lot of people over 70 ( my aunt is an example ) tell me: " all this internet stuff is not for me ". " I am OK as I am. Why do I need that? I am not intersted " . When I told her however that we might be able to communicate better ( e-mail, shipping of video/pictures overseas where she lives ) then she said " I'll consider it as long as it is not too complicated; I guess if it's just through the phone it will be allright ". I am saying that when you are 70, often your interests are more limited and focused, often primarily to your family's needs. Also there is a certain slowing of mental faculties that occurs in some, sooner than in others. Instant downloading of web pages at 500+kb/sec is not a priority for them especially if you have to drill holes though her favorite room and poke a hole though her precious wall paper and patch it some how so the black cable will not show ; move/empty the cabinet with her precious china so we can ran cable under the carpet.They will tell you no thank you TA
