| NEVER TO OLD
My great granddaughter said I was too old to learn to use a computer.
The trouble with the younger generation is that, they think that just because you are getting old, you are also becoming stupid.
At seventy three I suppose I do seem ancient to a twelve year old.
Never mind. I decided to show them by example.
A second hand computer and an old Epson printer cost me £200.00. Evening classes on how to use the internet were free to oldies like me.

| Google AdWords Clobbers Affiliate Sellers |
| First, we must understand their point of view. Unlike some other search engines, Google is committed to providing the best quality search results possible. That is an admirable effort, and they are certainly not setting out to do harm to their loyal advertisers who bring them millions in ad revenue each month.
However, a new AdWords regulation will put a crimp on those marketers who run ads using an affiliate URL as a landing page.
Google's reasoning is this.
