I am mainly reading through the library as I do not have the money or space for all of the books I would like to have. I just turned 65 years old on 8-28 and have been using a computer for many years. My last job involved doing data entry on computers.

I am fortunate to live in an area where most authors pass through on tour, less so now that M is for Mystery has closed. I also attend mystery conventions.

As a result, I try to be supportive by buying their books. Unfortunately, so many wonderful books by writers I like and a limited amount of money. If I read a library copy, I make it a point to write a review of their books on Amazon.Grace Toppinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291304815273486038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-6946526307044203002012-09-12T14:23:02.194-04:002012-09-12T14:23:02.194-04:00I'm in my 70's.

As I am less able to run all day, the computer takes me out into the world and let's me know what's happening with the younger world as well as my family and other olders.<br /><br />Yes, I'm addicted to Facebook, but I'm working on trying to cut the time Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07149940452550321323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-68358329102581904932012-09-12T11:49:27.719-04:002012-09-12T11:49:27.719-04:00I've used the internet for about 12 years sinc...I've used the internet for about 12 years since we 'got connected' and I'm 82. I used a computer for many years before that. Of course, I'm a mystery writer too. Social networking? Other than writers' web lists, I've dipped into that only in the last two or three years-just after I started my website. <br /><br />Now I sometimes long for those days before I was Norma Husshttp://www.normahuss.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-8639971068570216872012-09-12T10:37:31.584-04:002012-09-12T10:37:31.584-04:00I think you're right, LD.

Some never go beyond that. For others, it becomes the door to a whole new world.LD Mastersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202135756299574972noreply@blogger.com
