John Mathieson who told us on his application he is 80+ first used a computer in the Shettleston Health Promotion Centre. He surfed the Internet for information on chess with a view to forming a chess club. He keeps in touch with his niece in Australia by email but finds that since he can’t get a shot of his grandson’s PC he has to go to the library.
