p2pnet.net News:- We’ve had stories about ‘silver surfers‘ – Websters who are older than 15 ;p – before. Now, heeeeere’s Peter, “A softly spoken 79-year-old”.

He’s, “attracted a cult following after posting his first video on YouTube.com a week ago,” The Guardian Unlimited continues. “In the clip, which features the widower’s ‘geriatric gripes and grumbles’ with a blues soundtrack, he explains how he became addicted to the home video site, where 100m clips are watched every day.”

The first clip attracted more than 6,000 comments and now Peter, aka geriatric1927, “has posted another five and is at the top of the website’s most-subscribed list,” says the story, and, “It’s great that someone from your generation has chosen to share their views on life,” wrote one fan.

Maybe Peter should contact Ray Sutton, once described as the Oldest Living Blogger, or perhaps Millie Garfield.

Ray is a mere 74 and speaking of pix, “A picture on Xinhuanet English yesterday, showing Cuba’s El Presidente sitting up in bed and talking on the phone gave me an idea,” says Ray on his site.

“I ran the picture through my photo-editing program, added some dialogue, and then sent it off to Cuba’s official news agency, CubaNews by email. So what did that dialogue say? Hello, Dubya….. Kiss My Grits!’ “

And Millie is 80 and still going strong.

Meanwhile, as I posted here, the Net is the Great Leveller.

In other words, online, age doesn’t matter a damn. It’s not how old you are, it’s who you are, or who you choose to be. Fifteen, 45, 75, it’s all the same.

Cheers!
Jon
