MOD EDIT: Split off from this thread.

Ouch, well I have to tell my dad to stop suckig all the bandwith and I'll get started then

[horia_roks]

Edit: Xavier, you're 21 and your dad uses the internet? I think that S-U-C-K-S

[Wil]

Which part sucks? The being 21 part, or the dad using the Internet part?

[horia_roks]

Which part sucks? The being 21 part, or the dad using the Internet part?

The dad using the net when you're 21!

[Wil]

I still don’t get it. When you reach 21 your parents aren’t allowed to use the Internet any more?

[Oddsville]

Of course not Max, what kinda world do you live in. Why just the other day I caught my dad using the internet, got the broom outta the pantry, and beat him till he learned his lesson.

I tought his parents are a bit old for the net...

[Xavier]

Actually it's if my dad was being to old for the internet that it would suck. How old do you think he is? Plenty of "not-young" people use the net over here.

What would suck too was if he was keeping the pc for him all the time, but that isn't a problem as we have 3 pc at home.

[horia_roks]

I have 3 PCs too. (and a laptop)

[Wil]

A bit old for the Net? Seriously, what are you talking about?

[Wings of Fire]

My stepdad is 61, he knows more about PCs than I do...

[Xavier]

thanks Nate for the splitting... (and no! my dad is not what I'd call an old person )

[Jordan]

There's no limit to what age a person can use the internet. My grandma uses the internet, and she's in her 60s.

[Alcar]

Same here, my grandmother is 72 I believe, and uses the 'net for a variety of activities. My father is among many things, a computer engineer, and he is 48.

Alcar...

[Matriar]

Personally, I like it when older people use modern stuff just like we do.

Like using a washing machine instead of doing their laundry themself, or using eMails instead of airmails as an example.


So what exactly is the problem here...?

[AlienMagi]

oh momma that hurts.
My grandma is playng nintendo wii...

[DarkHoodness]

I heard a story recently about some pensioners using Wii Fit to train them for a 95 mile hike or so. . .

*looks for it* Oh right, here we go. =P

My dad's father had a computer for a while, for the occasional word-processing, but he seemed much more interested in playing obscure racing games that use really old cars. It sees little use now.

My maternal grandparents don't have a computer at all, nor do they have any interest in getting one. Before their retirement all their work computing was performed on mechanical gizmos, and they use other people's e-mail addresses when the necessity actually arises. Though my grandmother did eventually get a mobile phone, which she has difficulty using due to both complexity and arthritis, and they have Sky (UK market-dominating satellite TV, Mr Murdoch's).

[abe is now!]

When Bill Gates will be an enderly man, he will be an old man who can use a PC.

[Fuzzle Guy]

I have 3 PCs too. (and a laptop)

Nobody cares. Plenty of us have more than 1 pc. Stop trying to show off.

And more than enough 40-60 year olds use the internet... There is nothing wrong with it.

[Laser]

There's no limit to what age a person can use the internet. My grandma uses the internet, and she's in her 60s.

QFT

[Fuzzle Guy]

My Grandad is 77 and he uses the internet!

I win!

[Kimon]

My grandmother is dead and she blogs.

I win.

[Fuzzle Guy]

Proof?

[Bullet Magnet]

She may be dead, but how old is she?

[Leto]

7.

[Oddsville]

at least 461..
Btw, I just have to say that I love your banner/thing Leto. I just noticed it, ah Peptridge Farm...
