Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Brilliant idea!
Some very neat tech hidden behind a beautifully simple interface.

Forget the Greek grandmothers, I need one for my father.

He used to work for the PMG as a switchboard operator and making wake up calls.
Would be right up his alley.

Lord Knows, the endless lessons my wife, daughter and I have given him on how to just read tests and get messages off his smart phone haven't seems to have helped a bit.
Took over 20 minutes the other week to talk him through pressing  and holding the button on the side of his phone to reboot it.

That's cool but can he teach Granny how to reload the paper rolls?

If she gets spam texts will they eat her thermal printer paper?
