I know, the modern way is to look at it in the store, then buy it online. Pfft. Makes me wonder what I will do in 30 years that is so backwards.
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

I think you should print out the computer descriptions from the Internet and hand those to him.

I have long arms, but they don't reach from CA to FL. I suppose I could drop them in the mail or something. Jeez, that is old fashioned.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Well if he wants to look at something physically on a page, that's what you do. He'd need a catalog mailed to him anyway. It's not what we'd say was the most efficient but it is what he's comfortable doing. And if he's without a decent, available computer and Internet connection then looking online isn't something that sounds easy to him. Or efficient. I get that.

Yup. Now. To find time to print stuff out, and find a stamp.

If you want to kick it hi-tech. You could print to the local fedex/kinkos and have them deliver photo ready snaps from the internet, spiral bound.

I see that University Florida Ganisville, which is near where he is getting the cancer treatment, is an apple reseller. I just left him a message for that address, along with an apple store that is about 20 min south of his home. Let's see if he goes for either of those options. Or will curmudgeon kick in and "I don't want to go somewhere I never been to. If I can't pass it on my way to home, then it doesn't exist", which he has been known to do.

yeah, I was not seriously suggesting the Fedex/Kinko's route.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm posting from a refurbed Acer tablet right now AIFG so far.
