You may want to check up on that Proverb Lin! It's a backhanded way of wishing someone a hard time. I have moved back home to care for my Mother who is merrily sliding down the slippery path of old age. My sister and myself have introduced her to all sorts of new technology that helps her maintain independence and interest in life, what I find staggering is the way she takes it all for granted, in fact! she has had to be gently weaned off certain bits of technological advance like Pot Noodles and Pop Tarts which is very disheartening as she is a superb cook, the only change being more and more pots and pans get the arse burnt off them these days. The only thing in doubt is whose mind will go on walkabouts first? So! in matters Technological, Mental, Physical and Spiritual, I say use it or lose it! Cheers!
