View Full Version : Computers and the elderly.

My grandfathers calls me today, out of the blue, and says "I bought a computer"

Granted, that is not that huge of a deal, but for my 70 year old grandfather to go out, and purchase a PC blows my mind.

I ended up spending 45 minutes getting him hooked up and learning how to use a mouse over the phone.

What I want to know, does anyone have a similar story, or know someone older who just purchased a PC and wants to share their story?
