My Father is a man in his 60s who was a decidedly non-computer user. My Mom has been using computers for for over 10 years to run their real estate business and for fun, but my Dad steered clear of them. Restoring old cars and scheming to build a maple sugar shack was more his speed. So I was floored last Thanksgiving when he told me that that he's been day-trading stocks on the web - and that he even made money last year. And today he told me that he wants to use a Blackberry to trade stocks when he's away from his computer for a few hours. My Dad is cool.
