lucky escape

My 78 year old Father finally took the plunge and announced he was getting 'internet'. He has never used a computer so needed some help and wanted to buy a laptop. Instead i gave him two old computers to use on the understanding he would never type in any personal info in to them, nor Google phrases like Great t!ts or British birds...

The first was an XP machine with antivirus and chrome, the other a PPC Mac mini with Tiger OS.

After two hours he was used to the Mac but had given up on Windows.

It isn't until now that I realise what a lucky escape I have had from win10 (the OS nobody wants).
