That Old Mac

Don't say I haven't tried. I have, but he hasn't shown any interest. I sat down with him one day and introduced him to HTML, the nuts and bolts of web pages. He wasn't interested. I've pointed suggestively to a book in the bookstore, "How the Internet Works" or something like that. He wasn't interested. We've asked if he'd like to go to computer camp. He wasn't interested.

So don't tell me I haven't tried.

But then, this evening after we got home there was silence for too long in the house. And it got to be late. So I walked into the dining room, and there he was. There he was, huddled in front of the 11-inch, black and white monitor. There he was, huddled in front of that old Mac recently rescued from the rain.

It hurt me to say it, but it had to be said:

Ben. Time for bed.
