And today I got a call from my father telling me that my 80 year old grandmother bought a laptop, and is now online surfing the net looking for old books, art and places to travel... she has never had a computer before

That generation never stops impressing me

Rolo ,

Your post made me think on what you said..

See when I'm old and my grand kids say

"Yeah grandpa can still play chess ya know and he is 80 , old bastards really impress me"

I'll bitch slap them.

I think that is really condescnding.

Why the fuck shouldn't an old person still play chess , ride a bike , surf the net , go to the pub, ...whatever.
