I hate it when people ask a question, get answers they don't want to hear, then ***** about it., like they can't figure out that they don't have to take every piece of advice given. It's not phrased right, its "too preachy", whatever, then they go deactivate. Why r u here?, no really why r u here?

The realization that I'm going to need to set up a remote connection to my dad's computer because I can no longer troubleshoot long distance for him. And his cognitive state means that he keeps managing to **** up his email. 

I really wish I could get him to switch to just a tablet, but he thinks he needs access to excel and word. If not a tablet, then at least a Mac since troubleshooting for an OS I haven't used in years is getting progressively harder.

That would also present the problem of troubleshooting on a system I don't know or have access to myself. If he's going to need to adapt to a new system, it needs to be something that I can assist him with.  

And I don't think he's ready to switch to a tablet. Or else he could run Office 365 on an iPad which would work for me.

The Ipad with 365 makes sense if you are use to Apple. Why does he need office so badly?

Who knows. :)

But it won't change, so that's what I've got to make happen.

Yes seniors are not big on change. I now work at the office of aging so I am seeing this first hand. I gave my grandmother my old tablet and she still does not get how to use it. We got my mom a samsung galaxy tablet and she is doing ok with it. She is 65 though, my grandmother is 89.

I use excel and word on my android tablet.  There is an app for that.

See my reply above.  I believe he's too stubborn to switch to a tablet.  :|
