  • Couldn`t agree more with the last comment. You`re an inspiration!

  • You are truly an inspiration sir.

  • You should, if you can, upgrade your computer every 5 years. A whole new one.

  • Damn anyone who wrote a comment wishing Peter were dead... You evil people shouldn't be on Youtube.

  • I like Macs since they are the professionals' choice AND are extremely easy and hassle-free to use. What sounds like an antagonism is reality with the Apple computers!

  • It is so impressive how computer-literate you are, Peter! I've never heard a 60 year old talk in such a competent manner about computer technology - and you are 79 (now 80)!

    Your decision to buy a Mac (Apple) was a very good one. I've got the same as you, the iMac 24" as well as a MacBook Pro notebook. Both are excellent pieces of hardware, and it is PURE FUN to use them.

  • Congratulations! 13k views!

  • Hi Peter, Check out my videos if you havn't already got a new computer, I've got an Apple Macbook Pro notebook, its freakin awesome!. Danny

  • Peter you dont know me but dont let them Dumbie's that said they wanted you to die get you down. there just jelous that there vbogs and stuff arnt as populer as yours, and you know you have all your fans here to fight of all them horible people.

  • granda's awesome!

  • Good Videos

  • Hello Peter,

    it feels a little strange to hear someone of your generation (please excuse that expression) talk about all tis technical stuff. Yet it is great.

    Keep on doing your videos, they make me smile. :o)

  • Dear Poppy Pete.

    We have just finshed watching this one and thank you.

    Aidan and Rhiannon Cain the Short Bum Blues Band.

  • gotta love computes eh? so reliable X-D

  • hi i think your clips are really great im a kid whos dad tells me a lot of storys about the bad things he did as a kid like doing silly thing and funny and i was thinking if you could tell me about you as a kid.

    thanks.steven

  • Hello Peter! Clothes changig to beige is a good observation. I`ve sometimes thought that when I by time get old I`ll tell my family (if I will be blessed with children) that they`ll have to tell me if i stain my clothing (because I will not see the stains myself). But, when someone changes their clothing to beige, maybe the sauce will be difficult to spot? well... best of whishes to you and the Zimmers!

  • geriatric will never die :)

  • HA HA! I love how geriatric1927 deals with the hater comments! He's AWESOME!

  • I love you Peter! You're such a sweet, sweet man. Teresa.

  • wow it looks complicated just looking ur hearing it

  • Just got a poem, about computers at "the artist studios" youtube group. You may realy like it. Under poems topic.

  • people need to upload more clips like this. I prefer funnier stuff myself, check out dolphinhump. lostfrog . com , I laughed so hard I got kicked out of class! haha.

  • It's good to know that you are aware of Windows Vista and not to upgrade to it yet, but in my view i wouldn't move to a Mac, not everything is compatiable with it and yes people say that there are never any problems with them but thats not true, Mac's can break down just like PC's there is no doubt about that, Mac's might be more stable and run faster but not as many things are compatiable with them as there are with Windows.

  • peter i had no idea you knew this much about computers... my grandpa is 67 and he has never used a modern computer in his whole life, he'd like to though... but he is kinda intimidated by technology, he tends to think it's too far too complicated to understand...

  • karatenerd, get grandpa to try something easy. My dad liked to play solitaire, so I showed him how to play on the computer and, ... <Big smile!!!> He got the basics of point-and-click! ... and off you go! I wish her were here now...

    And, Peter was in IT, "whatever that means" - haha Peter!!!

  • Great. Keep at it. Am curious to find out what has been happening at Abbey road.

  • Don't hate on PC users. Don't hate at all, to think of it. Mac is just a computer, not a cultural movement.

  • You know what would solve your problem? Getting a brand new computer! I guarantee that if you made a video of you asking for a computer from the youtubers, we would buy you one. I would definatly help to buy you one! Between about 5,000 people a ten thousand dollar profesional computer would cost about a dollar or two each! every one please leave me a message on my channel if you would like to participate. Peter, if you read this, I would like a home address just in case this works. Thanks.

  • @barahona125

    Be careful Peter don't give your address. Arrange a meeting location and bring four friends with

    you to the meeting place. A public place like a popular restraunt ect.

  • Hopefully it'll get sorted soon because a lot of peeps are going to miss your genial and intelligent broadcasts. x

  • Still love you Peter!! I look forward to your next blog and don't take any notice of the bad comments, they're only jealous. Hope you get your computer fixed soon! Take care x

  • Loveley as always, Peter. Don't get disturbed by things whether they are computer or YouTube users problems. Go on with your way!

    It's so positive light how you speak about your future and that you have so much to do. You are teaching me in living every day in my life as if it was my last in this incarnation.

    Love,

    Ingo

  • Hi Peter, you are amazing! Wish you good health and all the best.

  • Peter is awesome. I'm 11, and I still think he's very intersting and nice. long live geriatric1927!

  • i think you're very sweet..

    you shouldn't tolerate any bad comments..u're not worthy of them!!!

    you seem to be a really nice person!!

  • I would recommend to buy an I MAC. I have one since almost a year and I am in the clouds. Very fast easy to work with. It comes with all programmes installed.

    Just start it up and it will be auto=insyalled in 15 minutes. I mac starts up in less than 15 seconds.

  • Peter,

    I really hope you read this Peter because you need to know that you are amazing! There will always be idiots who have nothing better to do than slag people off and say rude comments or leave spam about dead people coming to kill you lol, but when they are your age, they will be cold, heartless, lonely, bitter, twisted people, so (excuse the rudeness Peter) but F*ck them!...

  • You and my mother make me believe that it is possible to GROW while getting older.  Thank you!

  • geriatric! i'm spanish...is a honor for me write a coment here...you are very famous for this site!:) from spain,teo.

  • God wish i found you last week, was stuck with a mechanics question for uni and needed major help lol

  • haha aw, I love drinking hot chocolate before I goto bed, but I don't wear beige. So I guess I'm half way to being old, even tho I'm only 19. Glad you're still going mr. geriatric. :0D

  • Hi Peter--

    My mother, who is 84 1/2 (85 in October) drinks hot chocolate in the morning and before sleep. It really does relax her. Her clothes aren't all beige yet though :)

    Henrik

  • Heyla geriatric! good luck with the new computer build. I just had to do that same thing, don't listen to the haters, the folk who don't know what they are talking about. You are the only subscription I have on youtube, and you rock

  • Hi peter.I use a mac and they're great fun.

  • Give this guy a copy of Counter Strike and well see the oldest pro gamer to live :D

  • Where You On The Zimmers? I'm Sure I Recognised You On There...

  • id get a mac mini if i were you, theyre not that expensive, you can run windows xp on it with a little editing, and you would have all the lovley mac editing software

  • I've been away for a while but I'm back and so happy to see geriatric1927 is still here. I have gotten hours of pleasure and insight listening to his life lessons etc. and I am actually one of the old folks he describes...lol I do drink Hot Chocolate from time to time but haven't yet changed my wardrobe to beige. I will fight doing that till the bitter end..!! Good day all....

  • lol your so CUTE!!

  • Hi peter.. buy new laptop..try new things!!!..but can you buy laptop without vista!!! they are bad..

    anyway i am new comer for your channel... it nice to hear you and used to turn yours as Lullaby.. dont intimidate.. i enjoy it remind me to my childhood

  • keep up the good work :D ive only watched a few of your videos and i love them

    personally i dont have a mac, but my partner does and he loves it, his brother has a mac book as well, since you do so much video editing it would be a great investment, you can always buy a diffrent brand in the monitor and save a few pounds (im from australia so i hope pounds is the correct termanolgy :D)

    cheers :D

  • Aww I love you! You're such a sweetheart and I find you so interesting to listen to. Keep up the good work and keep posting videos please.

  • The morning after my 19th, i crawled my way up to a bus station with a hang over to make my way home. Feeling rough as ever kept my sun glasses on.

    Then a elderly gentleman sat by us, He reminded me so much of you, telling his life stories & how his voice relaxed me. he was telling me how he was visiting his sons and he needed to catch his bus home and how proud of his grandchildren he is.

    It really helped my hangover though , strange haha :)

  • I Respect you tremendously...

  • this is great. you rule

  • You are great! Keep up good work!

  • I love the introduction. You have a great voice! A load of rubbish? No way!

  • Happy Times With Computers Eh, Mines Been Showing The Dreaded "Blue Screen Of Death" For The Past 3 Weeks Thus Prompting Me To Buy This Shiny Little Black Thing That Confuses Me No End And Makes Me Wish I'd Bought An Apple Mac :S Stupid Girl, Buying Laptops To Match Phones... I Love Your Videos, Although Simple, They're Kinda Inspiring... Speak Soon And Keep Up The Good Work...

  • I seem to be blocked I suppose the is a time for everything!

  • This is a great video! I'd love to know what program you used and how you put it together. My channel is a video diary where I've documented both my work with celebrities and going through cancer treatment and surgeries. I'd love to hear from you and get any advice you might have on making my videos better :-) I'm so inspired now to make my videos better just from watching yours! Thanks so much for the video!

    xoxoox,

    Cheryl Shuman

  • I agree. The haters have no clue. They are under influence of their own nasty comments. It happend to me, people said some things i wasn't liking so much, and next thing i know it, Im about to say the things they're saying to others videos. I stopped my self before i woulda though.

  • You really should consider backing up your programs on a cd with nero burning rom then reformatting with either the disc or if you have recovery just hit F10 and do a complete system reformat!!!Take care

  • DO NOT LISTEN TO THE HATERS!!! Your videos brighten my day. Also make sure that you get your computer fixed soon so that you can keep posting videos!!!

  • Laptops are cool you should try one! I wish you well, I also am really impressed with your video's, my grandma is 83 I luv her, I told her about you! She was also impressed!! Take care....

  • By a Apple Macintosh!

  • You make getting old seem like something to not be afraid of. Thank you for that.

  • Hi! I have just loaded a trial one and I was a bit weary because I am also 71 years young. Glad to be amongst friends. :)

  • dont die yet

  • good vid there

  • your videos are so amazeing :D

  • Dear Sir, I hope that you are considering buying a Macintosh Laptop as for one it would give you a lot of mobility and they also tend to work easier and not give much trouble as a desktop.

    Cheers,

    James

  • You could do worse - purchase an iMac, all the stability of a Mac but it's cheaper than a Laptop

  • omg collio whos the sad fuck?.... Keep up the peter we all love u except some sad people who don t need a life....

  • u should of got their usernames and give them to adramshaw.

  • ur awesome, i just subscribed!

  • That's good you have your son to be able to help Peter. We can't have you without a computer in June...we're hoping to see you with Zipster, Karl and Teresa on there! I must admit I prefer a desktop pc to a laptop.

  • Peter, it's good you are learning about computers. I am sure you know how to defrag, scan disc and disk cleanup. Also, I am sure you have a registry cleaner/repair and anti-virus/ad/spyware program. But for God's sake, DO NOT mess with the Bios unless you really know what you are doing.

  • to JhonnyStorm2006,

    wow.....that is pathetic...you are a full on windows user.that is horrid.seriously...get a mac......you dont have to do any of that. defraging...thing of the past...so are viruses/spyware/ and adware.a registry cleaner...what the hell...you have to be KIDDING ME and you dont even have to worry about the bios. why would you even bring that up!. seriously...thats so pathetic.......

  • I take it you are a MAC fan....lol

  • Peter, sneak off to an Apple Store a have a look at a Mac. They are so user friendly and not so complicated! Just try one out you'll see. Sometimes people just want to use the computer not build one! Freida

  • Capacitors, bios, operating system et al it's all the pain of using PCs.

    Dear Peter, get yourself an iMac G5 and keep rocking...

  • I love my mac laptop and especially with wireless. I can take it to lots of places that have free wireless. I've had it more than three years with no problems. I'm an old lady l928 and continue to marvel at the internet. I'm going to video my husband and put him on youtube. We don't die before we die. Life long learning I say. Cheers to you.

  • perhaps you have a cheap mainboard with bad, cheap chinese electrolytic capacitors. which are infamous for firing up quickly ;-)

    if your son replaced the one cap (wasn't a transistor) with a NON- low-ESR one, this maybe the reason why it fired up again, or something else on the board got damaged & will fire up any cap you put on it.

    Buy only computers with reknowned brand boards in it, it will save you trouble :-)

  • I see that you was on the news great! and by the way your videos are far more interesting than most

  • Don't listen to Video testzone. Macs are the worst type of computer built by man. Nearly none upgradabe, double the priuce. half the specs and crappy controls. JUST DONT BUY A MAC I BEG YOU lol.

    And don't listen to people like spookybabydoo, he's just a worthless piece of crap.

  • are u not dead yet heeheheheheh

  • You gotta go Mac - check out an iMac, built in cam and mic (you could still wear the headset as a prop!)

  • dude, just reformat your computer. That should fix the problem.

  • peter you are a magician with words! i dont know what the point of the video is but WELL DONE!

  • yesh i dont like laptops much either, they confuse me

  • Your an amazing man.

    Keep doing what your doing, and ignore the ignorant fools that live on here.

    Keep on trucking fella, your an inspiration to alot of people!

  • You are wonderful. This is just random...but I have needed to say it for awhile:)

  • id advice it

  • He was a child during WWII - take the time to listen to his earlier postings and you'll hear all about it.

  • Great vid Peter. I want to hear more of that music at the start! Plus why not get an iMac?

  • Hi,

    My name is Kerry and I live in California. We are going to be staying in a small town called Bedford. From there, we will go to London, Paris, Germany and Austria.

    We are going to stay in Bedford for a few days to visit relatives (that we don't even know). From there we are planning to visit Paris, Germany and Austria. What do you think? Do you know anything at all about Bedford? And is it true that people in Paris hate Americans? I would appreciate any comment from you.

  • LMAO... you're an interesting guy. Full of life. Absolutely fantastic to see you on here.

  • Petah, DO get a Macbook. You'll love it & wonder why you ever owned a PC. Maybe then you'd video more often...mc

  • This is so great to watch your computer savvy grow, sir. Part of the appeal is the sense that your generation will become more and more plugged in with this internet medium as a way to share your experience and exert your rights and air your concerns. Simply fabulous!

  • Another wonderful video.  You're young at heart, and that's where it matters. <3

  • haha this one was awsome! GJ!

  • yay!! ET is so cool! I love your videos! Ignore those stupid people and their dumb comments. your videos are so interesting and entertaining... hmm.. if i were you i would go with the mac computer..

  • I have an Imac and it is great!  Please save yourself some grief and get one.

  • If your getting a mac, contact me, I'm an expert.

  • Hahahaha

  • WHO WANTS YOU DEAD?? WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THEM, PETER. *puts on brass knuckles*

  • Ummm wrong. You people are terrible.

  • Go with a Mac. Microsoft has stopped sending XP to the computer manufacturers and Dell will stop including it with their computers this summer according to "Attack Of The Show". :( Hot chocolate before bed ?! It wakes me up !

  • Please view my videos if they touch your heart please share the message...God Bless YOu...

  • You seem like a very swell individual. Perhaps its your voice that's almost charming. Its amazing how you are(at your age) embracing YouTube, where as the governments(Bush's administration/fox news etc)completly disregards the force/voice of millions. I guess I don't really know where I'm going with this, but, great video and keep it up!

  • Get an iMac. or a mac pro. mac pros are insane. 3TB of hardrive space. 16gigs of RAM and up to 2 Quad core 3.0ghz proccesors.

  • Your son did a jolly good job mate! I just hate those malevolent motherboard malfunctions too. And yeah, probably better to wait a year (or two) for the Microsoft team to patch all the bugs first. Take care Peter...

  • you are a great man with great videos, i love watching them, forget all those idiots and their stupid comments.

    nothing like a good hot chocolate (Y)

  • Peter thank you again for your wonderful contribution. You are an inspiration. Hope your computer problems get solved straight away.

  • get a macbook or an imac they have built in cameras so you can do videos with ease. your vids are very entertaining, so keep it up, afterall you got onto vh1

  • Hein?! Parlez vous français? La vie, quoi... et puis voilà quoi! :P Je voudrais du ET! Et daric001... Moi, j'pense que faut pas le dire! :(

    ANYWAY. I LOVE YOU GERIERIERIERIATRIC!

    if you took the time to read the previous comment above mine you would realise that was the person i was calling a wanker not Peter Im a subcriber so get your facts straight first before you go off half cocked

  • Ah okay then. My apologies

    :]

  • Just FYI: That transistor you held up wasn't a transistor at all...it was a capacitor.

  • Great to hear you Peter......thanks for sharing

    Maria

  • I know you don't think that a 9 year old can possiable have a single intellegent thought and my Mom tells me everything to say but I can and I do and maybe if people would listen to some of what I have to say this world might be a better place.

  • How rude! Seriously. People are just horrible. Peter, I don't think this person realizes how much you've contributed to most of our lives. We love you for it! <3 X

  • Macs are terrible, not enough software is compatible for it. I prefer windows but i wish imovie was available for it.

  • shut up. yes windows has more software, but 90% of that software is shit. I use only macs, and i have never been at a lack of software.

  • you're excellent Peter! Why don't you get the BBC to give you a new computer?? I am sure they won't hesitate a moment....!?

    take care my friend and greetings from Australia

  • Hi, your videos are great! I've read about you on wikipedia and the BBC - you've become a celebrity Hopefully your computer will be fine. Great videos!

  • no one wants you to pass on Pete youtube will be less interesting without you or your vids :)

  • Hello ET!

  • wow i thought everyone in the other generations hated youtube or never heard of it haha. props to you to stay on your feet in tech and whatnot. i know i won't be as sane as you are at that age :p

  • on that computer you may need to simply flash the bios....your son seems quite knowledgable suggest this him. because the transistor is different the bios may simply be acting funny, so possibly flashing it could fix the computer. :)

  • I think youtube has made you to young at heart to make you die anytime soon.

  • Peter you are awesome.

  • You are such a gent, everytime. I wish I was your neighbour, such fun!

  • I can't wait to hear about all the 'secret' stuff! Suspense. Blimmy! Did I spell that right?

    Good luck with the computer saga. It's good to see you again. I wish I had more time to watch the video responses to your videos.

  • If I could I would give you my computer D:

  • Aw Peter

    Nobody wants you to pass on that would be a heartbreak for your family and the youtube community!

    Phil

  • I LOVE THE PART YOU HAD A DRINK OF TEA SAID WENT "OHHHH THATS LOVERLY;)" love you peter!

  • HERE I ACTUALLY LOVE YOU!

  • Yes changed the transistor amazing...

  • The video is amazing and you're so cute! ;-))

    (Maybe you should buy a Mac! lol.) Missed you Peter!

  • I loved the music at the start! Reminded me of the old Avengers t.v. series!

    You are a great guy Peter! Thanks for sharing with us!

  • If your computer does let you down, I hope you're not gone for long. You're a real star.

    All the best with your various projects.

  • Hi Peter, glad to see you again. Don't worry about all the rudies on You Tube, best to just ignore them. Keep on posting for the people who can appreciate you. Keep well and hope your computer stays well also. Good luck!

  • We used to have problems every week with our Windows based PC, then we got an Apple mac and haven't had any problems in two years- they're worth the extra cost, besides Windows is for squares and you're too cool for those Geriatric, heh heh.

  • OUCH! I just had to repair my moms for the math processor being burnt out. That power input in that picture is fried!

  • You became a bit of a celebrity recently I seen something about you on the money show no the BBC!!!!!!!

  • I read the recent article in the Daily Mail about The Zimmers. It's great the good coverage it's receiving. I hope our news media picks it up in the U.S. Take care Peter and best of luck with your computer.

  • Haha you crack me up. I love you. My favorite part of this video was "their clothing changes to beige" and it was nice to see ET.

  • Peter u great ... a wonderful person!

  • yes peter, it is a real pain loading all the software back on the hard drive after wiping it clean. the worse thing is all the updates that come flooding in again for about a week, and the number of reboots you have to make. keep well.

  • You are indeed the most lovable person on youtube. I can see why you have so many fans : ) You are the same age as my Dad who was in the RAF, I'm always wondering if you served together. See you next time : )

  • Man you're my idol.

  • excellent video

    get a labtop...they are very reliable

  • So this is how you spend my social security! Making poor quality videos! Give me my social security back!

  • Dummy, he's not an American, he doesn't get Social Security. Yeesh, well, that just goes to show the level of intelligence of the haters.

  • just check out his "name" ... of course he doesn't get it! ;-)

  • Very kind of you to inform us all of your hobby daric001,I supose your comment was so short because your typing with one hand.

    Maybe when you grow up a bit you could explain why you waste your time with comments like "wanker" do you think its cool to try and hurt people or are you just brain dead

  • daric001 - please go away

  • You know, since my screen name has been deleted by U tube, I am using my old one, That comment was meant to be ironic and also comical at the same time by drawing in current events such as the supposed Social Security crises, and the blatant and absurd attack upon an old man on a web site that is cutting edge! Jeeze hello McFly!

    Don't worry Argent. I will keep working 80 hours a week so you can live on disability and continue to not understand the world. Sad. You really are sad.

  • I am 34, drink hot chocolate and wear beige... you are not alone Peter.

  • when my friend's got trouble whit computer...they cal me...so I know this can take time....but I see yaa later on.

  • No that was not rubbish! I loved that!!

  • "Their clothing changes to beige and they drink hot chocolate before going to bed" LOL, that's great!

    Good luck with your computer. Macs are good computers, but don't forget that PCs run more software than Macs, including many of the free programs you download.

  • Was it the GSC capacitors?

  • there are non-la
