I think this is so cool. I relate to this: my 73 year old mother has really
latched onto her new PC for sending email to friends.

New York Times
OSSINING, N.Y. -- Pat Garbarini has no answering machine.
Why
should she? Anyone who wants her will call back. Nor does
she
bother with cash machines. What for? She likes the
chitchat with the
teller, and can't imagine needing money at night.
But do not call Mrs. Garbarini, who is 81, a technophobe.
She
struggled to the senior center here, just two weeks after
having hip
replacement surgery, to take a computer course. And even
before the
course ended she bought a computer and printer, turning
her scarred,
leather-topped desk into a workstation for bookkeeping,
writing
letters and electronic mail and surfing the Internet.
``I want to do all of it,'' Mrs. Garbarini said with a
resolve that seems
characteristic of a the small but growing number of
elderly men and
women interested in the new technology.
