>o?I feel sorry for baby-boomers who don't get with it. Thirty years ago I bought all three of my kids used typewriters. My daughter-as usual-was the only one who learned. The other two "hunt and peck." My dance gang all use it, but we had one guy who is 83 who we just set up because he is desperate to be part of our email crowd. He is just clueless, however. It was considered so "secretarial" until a few years ago. That is why we have so many Politicians that "talk the talk," but are clueless, like Bubba. I doubt if Bush uses it much.

The silly peripheral keys migrate all over the place, depending on the keyboard, but he'll get used to it, is my guess, although I am projecting from my dad, who is "only" 71, and a client of mine who is "only" 80. Making it to 91 is quite an achievement in and of itself, so using computers at 91 is something to be quite proud of. My dad got motivated after his third wife died, because he's lonely. He's "met" women all over the world, and is rather fond of one in China, and they email back and forth a lot. He's been to see her three times and has invited me to visit with them this summer. I might actually do it. However, I automatically delete any email from him that has an attachment. ;^)
