    For the “amusement” of the grandchildren.. Oh how fun.. That’s what our job is, amusing the grandchildren.. I am proud of my sense of humor, but it seems to me that their family has taken advantage.
    I’ve had a computer since 1985, DOS et all. I’m in my mid-seventies. I don’t KNOW as much as I’d like, but I would be very upset if my family made me the “laughing stock” of the internet, I don’t care how “amusing” people might find it.
    Sorry, but I truly think this is really tacky.

    (I too am in my seventies and am very computer literate. I took Mac classes recently and found myself frustrated at the younger folk who couldn’t even follow directions!)
