For you over fifty...

[Edwina's Secretary]

My father just got high-speed. We had been trying to convince him to get rid of his dialup for years! He does email and research but he REFUSES to shop or do anything involving credit cards or any financial information on the computer. He is very afraid of identity theft.

Even though he does NOTHING remotely financial on his computer he has the most complicated password!

What is he protecting??? Well...it amuses him to think up passwords...

(btw...he is 86!)

p.s. which is not to suggest I am necessarily over 50!

My parents are both almost 80. They got a computer a few years ago. My mom plays games and my dad searches all over the internet for interesting things as well as playing games.

I think my Mom would have used it to look up gardening tips & nature
articles. As a young Mom will six active ( read rowdy) children she might
have let us use the computer for homework only. My Dad would not use
it at all.
