What's your Grandparents using for a computer?

Mac

you are not alone, I don't think she knows anything AT ALL about them

My dad is technophobic. He refuses to touch computers like it's poison.

Grandma on my dad's side doesn't use a computer, she farms and watches TV/movies. She never grew up around computers and honestly doubt she ever wanted one.

 

Grandpa on my mom's side uses a mid-range laptop(i7 or i5 and a dedicated Nvidia GPU), he just surfs the web and writes books.

Grandmother has a few laptops for work.

Other grandmother I have no idea.

Grandpa (favorite grandparent) died in 06, he didn't even have a computer I remember.

Other grandpa I have never met.

 

Oh the memories, I used to be at my grandpa's place and play stuff like Donkey Kong Country, Zelda Wind Waker and Four Swords Adventures, SSX Tricky etc.

Imagine when were all grandmas and grandads, or just really old if we don't breed, and were still self building all the latest fastest PCs and playing FPSs and screaming curse words down the mic!

Like that granny in the Intel overclocking advert.

Linus is my fetish.

My grandma uses an old XP desktop. I think its a Pentium 4, 512mb ram and a big 17" crt. She also refuses to have the internet even though when she is round my parents house she always says how great this internet stuff is, especially Skype.

my grandmother uses an iPad 2 (urgh...) and my grandpa is a baby-boomer generation cowboy from Idaho and therefore scared to death of computers.

The rest of my extended family, except for two of my cousins, are either luddites or filthy casuals
