I might be interested in this.

My father would benefit from having a computer, mostly to view family 
photos & stuff. He fumbles too much with touch screens.

At 97½ years old(!), his computer needs aren't too strenuous.


I've been planning a visit to Cambridge all year; hasn't happened yet.

Unfortunately, I have to hide indoors from the Vancouver heat and am 
dreading the Ontario heat (& humidity), so it's unclear when I'll be 
able to travel. Probably autumn - I can still handle some cold.
