Anyone catch the news last night and see the Old people's home that borrowed a Nintendo Wii?? I t was mean't to only be there for a couple of days but the old people got so into it they have kept it now for months and they all love playing games like tennis on it 
I thought this was great...it also shows that videogames can be for anyone and all ages young and old!!

| It'll be better for them than just sitting around doing nothing and vegetating......maybe all old folks homes should be fitted with computers and games consoles by law. |

| It said in the article that one 103 woman has thrown away her knitting and she's playing games and a 88 year old man says he's hooked on it! |
