<p>My dad (89 now too) also loves his laptop & desktop. He has an ipad which he rarely ever opens and doesn’t seem to care about. He have mom return his kindle to Amazon for a refund as he saw no point in it. He mainly retrieves email and also looks at his day trading online.</p>
<p>He uses his iPhone 5s as a phone and sometimes also uses the calendar functions. Mom doesn’t use her iPhone 4s at all and refuses to touch any electronics in their home. She gave away her kindle and her ipad and won’t touch the computer any more.</p>
