I find this hard to grasp. My mum can't work the video. My nan used to phone me to go and operate the microwave and "rewind" DVDs, God bless her!

There's a lot of us about (take a look at my avatar). We are a little bit technophobic, I get very confused when it comes to installing multiple oerating systems on my home network. I actually run a laptop on Ubuntu Linux, my server is running Red Hat and my desktop runs dual boot Ubuntu and XP. My sound system is running on a wireless network using MP3 which I ripped from cassette, LP, and CDs. Looking to build an overclockled core 2 duo with watercooling as my next project. Wrinkly's rool OK. PS what's a video, not seen one of them for years.

Not quite pension age yet..I'm 56..been on-line for 2yrs and it's changed my life..can't live without it.
There's a lot of ppl my age and older on this site..just something i notice because I'm interested. Great for disabled ppl too, for shopping, banking and so on....my neighbour who is 59, blind in one eye and very little sight in her other eye has a PC which speaks to her, amazing isn't it!
I believe were called 'silver surfers' lol...
Just a thought: When i first came to this site 1 yr ago the hair colour for the avatars were blond, black, or brown..they introduced silver recently, as you can see I'm 'silver haired' and so is the lady above **smiling**

Yes they do I am one of them , At lot of them use the internet to meet and talk to friends or to keep in contact with a relative(grand children etc.
I have lots of friends on line and being a retired pc tech I use my skills to help others and No I dont use porn sites like some people think. Those that think that way are usually the ones that use the porn sites.

It is not that surprising. You can compare prices really easily so it is great for shopping. No need to go into shops where assistants seem to assume that if you are older than them its OK to treat you like an idiot. Easy to keep in contact with your family. I could go on for hours. I probably will - by computer.

Yeah, I know. But they can find a good free porn site quicker than you can say Jack Robinson.
