My father-in-law after years of "hand me down" computers from us decided he was going to buy his own last year and transfer all of his family photos, journals, etc. to disk. So he bought himself a pretty high end machine with flat panel monitor.
He's got very bad arthritis that has him one step above being confined to a wheelchair. He probably should be using a wheelchair anyway but he won't admit it. He is very unstable when getting up even with the help of a lift chair. He's been lucky so far that he hasn't broken a hip in his two falls. One has already stopped his ability to drive (broken shoulder and now he can't lift it high enough to turn a steering wheel). So the computer and his movie collection are his primary entertainment toys. Very frustrating for someone who used to fly airplanes (real one and also made his own 3-6 foot working models) and was very involved in his kids activities like hiking and loves to travel. On a good day he'll play Flight Simulator instead of "Patience". Cheryl D.
