What have you against Grandparents?
it's just an expression, dave. it indicates "not technically inclined". and, like most such stereotypical shorthand, it's got a grain of truth, and not much more. hey, two of my best online e-book buddies -- nicholas hodson and meyer moldeven -- are technically astute (nicholas especially), and they're both into their eighties now... i'm old enough to be a grandparent myself. :+) -bowerbird

My grandfather worked with the one of the first computers to be installed here in the Netherlands in the fifties. Last year he bought a new PC, at ninety years old, and is still using it regularly to stay in touch with relatives who have settled down all across the globe. Although not a nerd, he certainly knows how to use the machine...
