99 year-old loves her first computer -- an iPad
Virginia Campbell, a 99-year-old woman from Lake Oswego, has finally bought her first computer -- an Apple iPad. "It's changed her life," one of her daughters told OregonLive.com. Virginia has been an avid reader most of her life, but she suffers from glaucoma, making reading increasingly difficult. Because of the iPad's ability to adjust the brightness of the page and to increase the font by simply tapping, Virginia has been able to take up her beloved past-time again. Not only is she reading again, she's writing again too. So far she has composed twelve limericks on her iPad, including this little ditty: To this technical-ninny it's clear In my compromised 100th year, That to read and to write Are again within sight Of this Apple iPad pioneer. Here's to you and your technological wonder, Virginia! We hope to read many more of your limericks well into the future. Thanks to Ian for sending this in.
