Today is my father's birthday, his 97th. Guess what he asked for and got as a present: a new computer and a flat screen monitor.

Well, Happy Birthday Dad!! It just amazes me, when you think of everything your Dad has seen happen in his life, to go from the Wright Brothers to the Space Shuttle, from mechanical typewriters, the laying of the transatlantic cable to allow telegraph across to the 'new world' to the instantaneous communication of the internet and a computer with a flat screen! Just, wow! I applaud his wonderful age, and the amazing mind that can love the new technologies. Bravo, Dad!! Hugs, Marji

That is so Cool...The more he uses it the more the mind responds. The busier you keep it, the longer it retains all of its memory.. Happy Birthday to him...Hope he has many more.

Good for him. I admire older people that are willing to tackle todays technology. I hope he gets to use his new computer for a long time.
