And women around my age don't turn me on either and the younger ones
aren't interested. Very frustrating! Well that's what I thought when
my first marriage ended after 21 years in 2002. Turned out to be a
blessing in disguise as after a great deal of time and effort meeting
dozens of women via the internet, I finally met my soulmate who
happens to be somewhat younger than me by 14 years. We married last
August.

You've given me hope, has she got a sister :-))

Sorry Jeff, she only has a brother, but keep hoping, you never know what
lies around the corner.

Went to Office World today on other matters. There I browsed their book
shelves a for a little while. Came across this:

"Computing for the older generation" and "Especially written for the
over 50's" . In fact Babani Publishing as a whole series of books for
the so called 'older generation '. How patronising is that!

I started computer programming in the 60's and used paper tape. I have
since build my own computers since 1980's and written applications in
ALGOL, FORTRAN, C++, VB/COM, VBA, C++Builder and now into .NET programming.

Hardly patronising - merely a niche market that has been identified.

IME, computer illiteracy is some 3-4 times as common in the
over-fifties as those under. OTOH, the desire to learn is almost
completely absent in the under-fifties and somewhere between 30% and
50% in those over. Again - IME

My dad's a computer whizz! He's 64 and spends HOURS on the computer each
day looking at porn. Patronising indeed, don't they have a clue why old
people use computers?

As for mobile phones, he only switches his phone on when he wants to
make a call, and then switches it off afterwards. When I spent an hour
trying to ring him and his phone was off, his answer was "well I don't
have any credit on it". Grrrr...

I won't be too harsh on him though, he's the one that got me into
computers in the first place, and he's currently in the kitchen cooking
my dinner.

No, I reinstall his Windows when it goes tits-up. He uses Mozilla
anyway, since I got him to use it.
