This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I've been trying to acclimate my Dad to digital stuff-- get him reading the news online for when the local rag finally goes weekly or closes.

He would have an easier time with a device with 5% less screen, but always-present physical home/back/menu buttons.

I'm not sure what the ideal device would be for him; I've set him up with a Kindle Fire with the Play store and a handful of prevetted apps because I had it handy and it seemed more approachable than a 6" phone or a laptop with keyboard and trackpoint. But I'm all but sure the right device is NOT a new phone.
