Being well into the target audience, I find this rather patronising !

"Over 50 ? Well, you're obviously a bit thick/slow/illiterate/number-challenged et al than the rest of the population. so here's a nice oldie-friendly piece of kit to keep you quiet, 'cos we all know you lose yer marbles once you get over the important, productive years ...."

I'm the original Mr TechDunce, but I manage to stumble my way around, despite not really understand a great deal of what goes on ! And I did sling Win 8 out my metaphorical window 'cos I found it stupid - mind you, p'raps that shows I know a bit more than I think !
