Not a desktop, nor a laptop, nor even a i-pad. In fact Manny doesn't even have a cell phone, smart or otherwise. I am not saying he lives in a cave but  technology has to a large extent passed him by.  He enjoys watching dvd's that I loan him, he also enjoys VCR's, his player plays both. Please do not missunderstand me, I am not saying older folks don't hook up on the internet. some do, My own dad gave it a hand, but usually ended up calling me in to the computer room for assistance.
