Subject: RE: BS: The over 80's and computers
Larkin, that is REALLY funny!

My dad is 84 and has been using computers since Apple and Ascii but he still does weird things like keep every frickin' cookie because if he dumps them he loses all his passwords and has to start over. The popups are creeping up on him again. Plus, his eyes can't track very fast and it takes him eons to read down a page. But he helps all the other geezers he knows! On blogger he got very messed up when they changed to Google. I had to help him then because he had so many passwords on his password sheet he couldn't find the correct one!
