Hi Natalie My 88 year old grandad has one but no one is sure if he can work it! I think he can read text messages so far. Pretty good going for him. Lynne

Some people over 80 have an I.Q. that many will never aspire to even in their best years so why treat them as figures of fun? Len

Trish I am only 80. I bought myself a pc for my 75th birthday and taught myself how to use it. Naturally, both my wife and I have mobiles. We are saddened by the levels of ignorance displayed by many today. Texting does nothing for the English lanquage. It is understandable that the limitations of texting on mobiles demands a sort of short-hand - but why introduce this geek-speak into other forms of communication? Len
