The net just isn't attractive to a lot of older people. My father was among the first computer programmers in the world and refuses to touch a computer anymore.
I bought him a new computer in 1998. He moved it down here last year, still unused and in the box. LOL.
I asked him why and he said that he sat in front of a computer for 40+ years and that was enough. Not even tempting him with online chess has worked.
The older they get, the more set in their ways they are. I was surprised cause I really thought he'd get a kick out of the net. Wrong.
