Thanks, Annee! Nice initiative.

Thanks Annee. It is a very nice concept, but it did make me chuckle a little bit. My Mom and Dad who are in their mid 70's ( and would be considered older ) and have used e-mail for more years than I have, search the web for product comparison information, get daily weather updates, send e-cards, upload photos and have looked into wi-fi for use when they travel around the country. While they know there are a lot of older people who don't know much about computers, most of their friends are computer literate and they don't like it when people presume because they are older that they don't understand newer technology or keep up with the times. :roll: I do still think it's a nice idea, but Orlando Bloom was on The Tonight Show two nights ago and commented on just now getting his first computer and claims that was the first step toward taking it out of the box because he knows nothing about computers and I wouldn't consider him older. Maybe they should have tried having the computer literate teaching the computer illiterate, then my parents could sign up for a prize. :happy Gaffer's Girl
