Happy Birthday,
ComputerActive !
I
n February Ninety-Eight
The Twelfth was an important date -
ComputerActive on the stands,
And, even better, in my hands!
For fifteen years from Issue One,
Concise, informative and fun,
This magazine has stretched my mind,
And now I’m never left behind.
At seventy, because of you,
I help my friends and husband too
(Most of whom are even older!)
To get the hang of file and folder,
Choose computers, keep them clean,
(You never know where files have been
That friends love forwarding!) and learn
When disappointed, where to turn.
My darling husband takes to bed
The articles that I have read
So he can learn to deal with spam
And spot the latest nasty scam.
He now has confidence to try
New software; and we often buy
From your reviews the finest kit -
You help us make the most of it.
Our children all live overseas,
But we can keep in touch with these
We love, because you showed us how
With email, Skype and Facebook now.
And how we love the Letters page!
It shows we can be any age
And keep our faculties intact if
We remain ComputerActive!
Take my hand ...
