Default Re: B'day present ideas for 70yo Dad

I am in NZ spending a few days with my 99 year father. The guy is not frail, just moved out of 2 storey 4 bedroom family home, into a retirement village with independant living.

What would I get him for present ....someone to constantly upgrade his computer, he has old age shakes and as his hand scolls over the screen fingers often?always move and click on something and it dissapears. Ive spent 2 days cleaning up lost files emails etc.

Best present ...from his point of view, talking to his kids and grandkids and great grandies... 'at my age nothing else really matters.

Oh yes, last year he upgrades cars to '08 Audi A3 estate. Crazy thing about this....German assembled sold new in Japan, exported to NZ as second hand. Sat nav is all in Japanese. I suggested an upgrade..."why, I know where I need to go, why do I need that?" fair point. still allowed to drive in daytime.
