Hey, I’m 68, have Vista and am a computer geek. Us oldies are pretty handy with these things. Remember, it was our generation who brought them out of the massive to PC. In fact, I have 3 of them, all Vista and not all that interested in Windows 7..
The computer will be obsolete by the time Opal’s estate is settled. Hoepfully she has a positive net worth so that the computer isn’t liquidated to pay off the debt.
I’m 62, and a geekwad of the first order, with Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit on a quad-core. I’ll get Windows 7 as OEM on my next PC. Why do you people upgrade before the first Service Release, anyway?

I thought the Pickles were too old fashioned to have a computer.

Too many older people don’t want to bother with computers but I tell them they don’t know what they’re missing.
Opal should tell Nelson by the time she dies her computer will be obsolete.

If it’s a PC it’ll die long before Pearl does. If it’s a MAC it could definitely outlast her

Wow - I remember having a convrsation a lot like this with Aunt Myrtie, including the punch line. I never did get her record player.

My 80 yr old Dad has an HP HDX 18 and an HP MINI MIE both running Ubuntu. He just laughs at old pharts that are stuck on Windows and Mac.
Apparently Nelson is getting ready to write a powerful Perl script…..

I’m 59.75 and use Windows XP. Never bought the Vista hype, so never had problems.
