my nana has a laptop currently but she had a desktop for over 10 years for emailing and stuff.

my grandparents on the other side have 2 laptops as well.

I
don't know, maybe older people just mix better with laptops...

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

My maternal grandmother died in 1988, and my maternal grandfather had an Olivetti typewriter (I have it now). My paternal grandparents can barely deal with mobile phones, and think computers are useless and evil.

My 74 year old grandfather got an iPhone 5C about a week ago. He can use it better than my mom can use her iPhone 4S she got two years ago.

My grandparents only just dropped the good old crt's a small while back and still record things onto vhs. So short answer no, they don't use a computer.

One set of grandparents uses an all in one that was designed to run Vista.

 

The other set has a Pentium III computer that they have only turned on about 5 times.

My grandparents don't. No computer or smart phones for them.

 

My father has no interest in using a computer or smart phone (he gets mad when he has to use an ATM) but my mother does a passable job of using a computer and smart phone. The really interesting thing is that my mother-in-law is terrible at using a computer but is actually really competent using her smartphone.

If you get easily offended by people on the Internet there is something really wrong with you. You focus on the opinions of a few people instead of worrying about why you have a terrible taste in video games.
