I've been here since a few days before the election. I was so glad to find this place! The fastest way to get info on what was happening nationwide. WOO HOO! I was really scared the dirty creeps would steal it away again. DUers :yourock: Of course now I'm hooked & can't escape! LOL!

9. My mother is 91. Just bought a new Acer w/19" monitor |

to replace her 3-year-old Dell.
I get emails, attachments, photos, etc. daily.
Yeah, she can turn it on!!! (maybe not as well as my daughter who's a grad student, though)

18. Good for your Mom. Thats my machine. On a related note..... |
|
I went to multimedia/internet school when I was 48. The first day I had to ask them how to turn on the machine. The first thing the instructor told us to do is open our browsers so I pulled down my pants. Ka Ching !!!!!
Not true but pretty close. If wasn't so good at graphics because of my art degree they would have thrown me out into the street the first day.

13. I just think that we should turn the internet into a big truck... |

That way we can dump a bunch of stuff on it
It's so much more funny now that Ted won't be chairing the Commerce Committee anymore.
