I may not have been clear, im not looking for geekweek stuff for me. This is something for managing the old folks (no offense to half the list). If im the one managing it, im doing a spreadsheet. Im looking for something focused on the old people. Ideally managed by a geek, but run by the old people. My dad and uncle being a good example, neither is tech savvy, one is tech negaitive. My uncle is unamanagable, his daughter fought tooth and nail to get hin to get a cellphone. He finally did, he keeps it with his gun under his seat in the truck. Dad is more tech savvy, cause he has a guy "who knows computers". Me. Its really an issue that only has a 20 year lifespan, but what is the lifespan of an app or web product? 3 to 7 years on average maybe? The customer base on this specific product will tombstone out, so theres not a longterm prospect. I guess what im looking for doesnt exist. Ideally it would be a hail mary contact within an app that was widely accepted. Maybe basically when old people set something up, theyre asked "whats your Get Off My Lawn ID? And whatever it is thats set up is managable by the hail mary contact
