Hi Paul. I really appreciate your message. We're also going to try to
use the built-in camera so we can videochat. He still lives by himself,
and I think the connectivity will be really good for him (and us).
Thanks again and best regards, -Andy

Andy, the use of a PC and email was absolutely critical for my dad and
our family and communicating. He was in a nursing home nearby, had
cataracts in both eyes and could not hear. He had a WINDOWS machine,
and the cursor enlarged anything it got close to. We enlarged what we
could on the screen and made sure everyone knew to email him with a
large font. He liked to print stuff off, to have to read again, but
also he felt he was spending his money staying online to long. Also,
whenever someone visits, make sure to check everything works as it
should. My dad once somehow deleted his email package. Multiple other
times there were changes on the machine that needed attention. The PC
really connected him to family across the US and in Europe like nothing
else could have. Good luck, Paul S
