[Microsoft UK is developing a "senior PC", which will have a simple interface and be aimed at older users.
The PC will come with software that allows users to manage prescriptions as well as simplified tools for everyday use, such as managing photos.
The machine, which it is developing in partnership with charities Age Concern and Help the Aged, is one of several projects the firm is working on. ]
Smashing! I wonder if it has a incontinence pad dispenser instead of a DVD drive?

That is funny Smurfy - but actually, when you think about it, many older people WOULD have used computers for a good part of their working lives because, after all, computers are many decades old now, but some older people would have used the old punch-card operated computers.
My students think I'm too old to know anything about computers but in reality I've used them for at least half of my life, which is much longer than some of them have been alive!
