I use my desktop computer exclusively for everything internet.
Also, due to arthritic hands, I have better luck typing on a full-sized keyboard than the small, smart phone keyboard on the small smart phone screen. Also, the desktop computer allows me to see the GREAT photos you all post on a large, high-definition screen so I don't miss any detail.
Yes, I am a crotchety old buzzard.
Holy moly!...A truly kindred spirit, Randy!! Pudgy-arthritic-finger-syndrome, et al! Actually, my 'friend' is a laptop. Strikes a nice balance of portability and workability...IMHO, of course. I NEVER tried using the phone, smart or 'dumb', to check Forum...or eBay auctions. (See below)
Oh yes, I sometimes bide waiting times playing hearts or some other game on the phone. (I once tried playing Mahjong on the phone...Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ad infinitum. Yeah, right.) And every so often when I feel a bit bold, I'll glance at the gnus headlines to see if there's any hope anymore anywhere.
Related pet peeve...as a seller on Ebay, dealing with cellphone-obsessed buyers. Besides not being able to see nuances in anything photographic, we find that detailed written descriptions are very often abbreviated or non-existent when viewed on a cellphone. Just a couple days ago, my wife posted an auction offering dozens of small packets of detail parts to complement a group picture of the same. She provided in the written description a list of every packet and its contents. Yet, a would-be buyer wrote, 'What's in the packets?'. She advised him/her to check the description for the complete, detailed listing. Come to find out, he apologetically disclosed he was looking at the auction on his cellphone, the complete descriptive details deleted/abbreviated. Hardly the first time this has been encountered. Frustrating as a seller, dangerous as a buyer, the latter sometimes not 'protected' by Ebay for missing the full descriptive disclosure through the buyer's choice of cyberware.
Another interesting question, Arnold. Keep 'em coming!!
BTW...At 79 years, I'm proudly a fellow full-fledged associate of the Fraternal Order of Grumpy Geezers, aka old fogies! Rule on!
