    guys what can i get my93 yr old grandad. Hes been getting books for years. Now he aint to mobile anymore, but hes as sharp as they come. Just got him a laptop a few weeks back and he's just waiting for eircom to connect. He already has that recomended book about computers for over 65's? i am at a loss... maybe a book about the internet for the elderly or something... im rambling a bit... sorry, but any ideas????

    thanks

    A 92-year old granny...?

    Seriously, though, if he has a laptop, how about DVD documentaries? The BEEB do good ones, or, if he's into history, some of RTE archive ones.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    why not get him a digital photo frame? get your hands on loads of his old photos and scan them on to the comp and then transfer them to the digi photo frame
