My dad started getting into computers but was about 3 years too late to do him much good. My mother is pretty much like my wife; has one, but rarely touches it. But I'm glad I got my taste, although it might have prevented me from writing that masterpiece. It’s a funny thing, Val.

He was in his late eighties when he passed and despite his age I think he'd have loved the internet. That said, I think he'd have been a total pain on it as he was, by nature, a 'stirrer'! My sister bought me my first computer, but it wasn't a PC... it was an Amstrad!! My first PC arrived in 2001 or 2002, I wouldn't be without one these days. Love the post. I know a lot of 'older' (let's say older than elderly) people who have their own PCs and are into the 'net, including a neighbour in her nineties who recently got into it! Well, you owe your life to your parents, not just your present one!

When my dad was around we IM'd nightly; maybe that's something you could integrate, eh? It’s a good thing to do, Neela, since you only get your family members once in your life.

And look what you've accomplished! That was great that your parents told you that, and kept encouraging you towards greatness. And look what you’ve accomplished!

So many African-American parents want the best for their children but because the time period in which they grew up--they never really tell you how to grasp it. My parents used to tell me there was nothing I couldn't do and to always know if I fell on hard times "I could always come back home." That was my motivation to make it! :) It’s nice to read that your parents had the foresight for you.

I'm lucky to have two tapes of Mitch's greatest hits, which I actually pull out on occasion and listen to. I don't cringe as much as I thought I might, after all these years. :-) Thanks Peter; been awhile since you’ve visited.

This year, on my dad's birthday, it's going to be odd since it's both his and my uncle's birthdays. I wish my mind wasn't so attuned to dates and numbers like it is. Thanks Kristi.
