For those who are computer challenged, why do you think you have such an issue?

54. Am 72 - used to be ahead of the pack

Got first computer - Apple II plus because fascinated with the coming revolution.

On to the Mac Classic for GUI and because always in charge of volunteer groups newsletters.

Hand scanner etc. Then to the web! Netscape.

Then up the chain to Mac Book Pro, but stopped at OS 10.4.11 because going further could complicate my Photoshop and Quark without an investment of more $ and more time. resented the next step for the first time. And because I had arrived at that stage of geezer hood that I resented having to learn something "new" when the old system worked just fine.

Now have an Ipad and while I cannot sync, use Dropbox and use the computer for big layout projects. Still don't want to spend money and time to go further, despite urging from children.

Along the way, peer group friends who went Mac more quickly adopted computer activities than those whose kids talked them into PCs. Now suspect both equally confusing to elders more set in their ways.

Those friends who were in their 60's when I was proselytizing and who didn't get one and learn are out of the loop in those groups they once led due to Email notifications instead of phone calls etc. They are now in their still vibrant 80's, but feeling left out. Sad.
