Funny, a buddy has been going through this with his 80 year old father, the teen nephew they were supposed to teach about what a raspberry pi is didn't care for fakebook or tweeting, but his grandfather took a few and building stuff on them now.

Somewhat sad the future. -mb On Tue, Nov 8, 2022 at 12:00 PM Michael via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > well.... the computers aren't new or anything like that > > > On Tue, Oct 18, 2022 at 8:29 PM Steve Litt via PLUG-discuss < > plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > >> On Tue, 2022-10-18 at 14:27 -0400, Stephen Partington via PLUG-discuss >> wrote: >> > Is there anything in computers he wants to learn to do? does he have an >> > interest? >> > >> > without that, it is more than likely just spending time with dad. >> >> I agree.
