In 1987 I gave my dad, then aged over seventy, his first PC a KayPro II using not the standard CP/M but a variant called ZCPR.
Dad went from strength to strength using it firstly for document processing, writing minutes and agendae for the various societies that he belonged to and later learning Windows when I could afford to give him a Windows 3.11 machine and sending email after he moved on to windows 95 and XP.
Sadly he never made it to be able to see some of his grandchildren on Facebook because he passed away in 2002.
