Funny how a laptop goes from being a piece of equipment to a personal extension of the user. It was a good thing that you got to share your love of technology with him. Another form of communication.Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07021041066225678236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-53475721512048706222009-10-02T09:41:12.134-04:002009-10-02T09:41:12.134-04:00That's a great article.

As well, the first comment (which had me creating an account just so I could log in and give him a thumbs down) had my blood boiling. There's always one in the barrel! Mojo - I don't think that (expletive) WILL get it...seems to be a negative soul who is just going through the motions of life. I'd pity him. But I won't waste my time.<br /><br />Carmi - describing your connection to your father, his connection to technology and yours in that vein as well, is poignant and eye-opening. You made me think (and smile...and ache for your loss all over again). It's quite a new experience, either discussing or teaching someone of our parents' generation about computers but it's incredibly rewarding when they use it and defer to us (or the kids!) for help and support. It allows us to give back some of the teaching they gave us. And it's so special.<br /><br />I have emailed the link to the story to 3 people - so far. It's just that beautiful. (of course, I'm always tempted to email ALL your writing!)lissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505435869876658799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-35626440889797729102009-10-01T17:25:42.693-04:002009-10-01T17:25:42.693-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.lissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505435869876658799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-31329662065933407232009-10-01T17:13:07.076-04:002009-10-01T17:13:07.076-04:00Mojo - ditto.

It takes a special man to inspire that kind of devotion from a grown son.<br /><br />His foray into the world of technology, and the way he embraced it whole-heartedly, also speaks of his pride in your accomplishments. There is not greater compliment than a father who wants to follow his son.<br /><br />You were both greatly bless3ed to have each other.quillyhttp://quilldancer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-33756196842342949692009-10-01T14:11:32.963-04:002009-10-01T14:11:32.963-04:00Bravo on the aritcle Carmi.
