A few weeks ago I was working on my laptop at a hotel conference room in Half Moon Bay when a well-dressed New Zealander in his late 70s or early 80s wandered by and asked me for help connecting his mini-tablet PC to the hotel wifi.

Also, a friend of mine who's in his mid-80s started using an iPod Touch for email, reading the news, and showing off his photo library to his friends.

I hope I'm that versatile when I'm old.
