I do usually give him tools for his birthdays and Christmas. I did give him a Fire tablet but he complained about it not having the regular google stuff, and didn't seem to want to learn how to get it himself so I sent it back.
I try to give people fishing poles and tackle, not fish.
My wife's castoffs are my Chromebook and one super 15 inch machine that had a hard drive crash. I could fix it but with all the machines that are running, why bother.

My youngest turned back in the Fire HD talet I gave him, and won't accept any of the 17 inch laptops I have offered.
Seems like a 6 inch phone is all he needs or wants. And by the way, he could keep the phone and have the tablet or the laptop as well, but he doesn't want the bother.
I know better than to try to understand my daughters, but I thought I would at least have a chance with my sons. But ...
