wonderfull advice Peter with regards to the mouse!Its so true -just keep opening and investigating thats how i learnt.I had to close it down on numerous occasions-and it is like you say it fixes itself!Your doing wondefull work encouraging the elderly -the comp world is sooo wonderfull.
Crongratulation Peter!you became very famous!i think because you also are a very good person,i like your calm,your way of speech,and your british accent it's pretty perfect!!go on with your videos!
Peter, wow your computer is so good and your webcam picture is amazing haha! HURRAY i get to see you so clear now. Im catching up on these videos yey!
Been to america a few times, And it seemed almost every state i went to had a different accent, And for England, I've been there and no one laughed at me, I may be Canadian, My accent is probobly exact as The most common American accent.
P.S. I wish to go back to england someday, I loved it!
What do you say yourself on your channel? "You'll be blocked for insulting." You're a hypocrite and an idiot. What is the point of insulting an innocent man who makes videos that many people watch and like? A man who's done a lot for this site? You're a coward. You ask people not to insult you then you come here and write a comment which is pointless and merely puts light onto the fact that you're an idiot who can't even grasp basic manners.
Peter, you show us in an impressive way that being up-to-date and being brilliant has nothing to do with one's biological age.
Instead, there are poeple at the age of 30 who are dowdy. And people at the age of 80 (like you) who are modern, open-minded, capable of learning more and more every day, keeping pace with the modern and more and more complex world.
Thank you! Your three kids must be very proud of you.
Ah, I wasn't clear... what I meant is that Peter saying "Hello, YouTubers" is comforting to me. I'll say again, our dear friend Peter is the heart of YouTube!
Excealnt video. Your a great guy and a good help to people all around the world. Could you please tell me when thehill88 is coming to your house and is Boh3m3 coming?
Yes, Mikel4321, you certainly should be ashamed. Glad you can admit that. Now if you'll back that up with a change of behavior, you can be proud of yourself.
this video made me happier than i've been all day. i only hope that the ladies at the assisted living home took notice...but considering Grandpa's manner, i'm sure some that some of them did. dead brilliant!
Geriatric, you just have to change your pc's audio settings to record from your mic and speakers/headphones. Then record the convo from your pc using a sound recording device. and get your video making software to add that sound file to your video.
What A Wonderful Thing To Do.....I Am 57 And Trying To Learn New Things. I Hear That If We Continue To Use Our Brains To Learn New Things We Are Less Likely To End Life With Alzheimers. My Husband Before His Death From ALS Had A Speech Computer To Talk For Him.
It is great to see older people joining in on the fun and I love the way that u are using the technology. Your video and sound quality is very high and I'm sure you will learn more about video editing as you go along so you can add in the other features you talked about. keep up the good work.
Hey, I really think its great that the older generation is getting with the technology race as well the youngsters! But just one question. How can you have a movie longer than 10mins? Also Windows come with a Very easy to use Movie maker which I think you can get to grips with very nicely! Thanks for the video, keep posting more!
i assume ur a retiree and wonder if vlogging and chatting to peeps around the world gives you the enjoyment to replace the personal necessity to be needed as in the workplace (not that any of us like the workplace but the need-to-be-needed aspect of human nature may keep us tickin for a greater duration) - too, i feel like i've seen/done almost everything in 32 phenominal years and i want my best to look forward to, what do u do to fill the meantime in retirement besides web activities?
Me I don't work and I'd like to die the sooner the better. I'm happy not to be needed either, I'm so happy to be financially independant because I'd hate it to have to work to eat.
I enjoy watching these videos and think you are a true inspiration to us fellow YouTube users. Peter, you are amazing. Keep up the outstanding work. Very well done.
macs suck ass. they always crash and if apple wants more people buying their shitty...dare i say "computers" they should lower the prices. Dells are much better and don't crash as much as macs
RESPECT!! DO you know the meaning of the word. This gentleman is 79, I wonder if when you reach his age, you would have done Half the things his done in his life, which includes perfecting the computer at his age. These kind of remarks really get me worked up. Granddad does not deserve this kind of treatment. He is gentle and a true gentleman!!
Of course macs crash, they're computers you twat.Macs and P.Cs are both computers and they both load and complete huge calculations which you never notice you ass.Infact I'm regreting buying a Mac now, It's cost me £150 repair work when I have only had it a year!,I had my Dell for about 5 years and it never broke down.
every new mac has a 1 year warranty when you buy it from apple. you can extend that warranty for a couple hundred bucks. i recently found out that my macbooks ethernet port was not working, all i had to do was bring it to the Apple store and in a few days they repaired it for free.
I paid just $99 for 3 full years of AppleCare, which allows me to call for tech support 24/7 on any Apple or Mac related issue for no extra charge. It's already paid for itself many times over in less than 1 year. Not only did I get an entirely new hard drive for free (freak situation), I've phoned in for tech support about a hundred times, and they've ALWAYS helped me. It's GREAT! Sadly, when the 3 years is up, they won't let me re-up. After that, I'll have to pay per call. :(
*Clears throat*... I own both a ibm thinkpad and a ibook g4. The ibook tends to never crash unless I try to play the odd corrupted video file, in which the mac os x platfor itself doesn't crash, but rather the program. Dells? Well for one, they don't offer very much control over hardware, they're "dummy" computers with bios controls and everything closed off to users. Macs have a powerful gui interface, and yes, they can do spreadsheats and calculations too you silly little twit.
Once you go mac, you never go back. The best software companies make their own hardware. Apple only has to code their software for their machines, so they can perfect it. Micro$oft on the other hand has to code Windows for hundreds of different computers. So instead of getting a OS that runs perfectly on your computer, you get one that runs very poorly
i have been using macs my entire life, and so far i have used over 10 on a regular basis and i have only had one crash. all that i had to do after that crash was reboot the machine and presto, it was fixed and everything was back to normal. PCs on the other-hand have a far more notorious record of crashing. Hell, bill gates was showing off windows 98 live on tv and it crashed.
Peter, nice to meet you! I'm going on 67 and have been involved with computers since 1985 and the internet since 1995. Computers are absolutely fascinating to me as well.
My fathers 69 (im 20) I have never been able to get him any where near a computer. I wish he was as tech savy as some of these other Youtube golden oldies.
I must admit he hasn't gone gray or much other signs of aging yet so he probably wouldn't be able to pass himself off as being to old on youtube. Hes gotta start aging one of these years.
Dear Peter, I discovered the amazing & wonderful Zimmers in April, & now you around a week ago.I live in the US but my late Mom was English.She'd be almost 85 now, & passed on 10 &1/2 yrs ago.I miss her very much,but U make me happy
Wow! You are doing better than my Mum, and she's only 65! It's also great that you are encouraging others your age to do likewise. You seem to have got the hang of voiceovers, congratulations!
I admire you for your courage and determination.I think it's great that you are willing to try out new technologies. Good luck with your progression. Love the title as well!
great job on the blog, youve got a lot of courage to take on the beast that is the internet, especially webcams, you tube and blogs! ive got a lot of respect for you. my nan struggles with basic emailing. so congrats and keep it up. =)
Hello Peter, I wanted to let you know what your doing is excellent and very generous. I have helped teach computers to elderly people after school in a program called Computeers. It was all voluntary and it was the best learning experience for both of us.
Wow, to think I'd forgotten about the good old restart. Fixes anything you can do to a computer unless you've got a hacker in there. I guess there's a problem with being a techy. I get to caught up with my complicated solutions that I forgot about simple restarts.
the only problem I noticed with you is that you talk a lot and ramble on and on! It's hard to see what your point is. I guess most old people are like this though, so it's ok :P
you seem like an extremely nice man, i hate all the people saying bad stuff on your videos, but they dont rly matter you have many good coments. your great
I love your laugh, Peter. I love listening to you while I iron clothes. You take the drudgery out of my most dreaded task. You're an inspiration; I may post a video one of these days.
Hello Peter, I haven't watched any of your videos for a while, but I am glad to see you are still having fun making them. This video is interesting, I think it's great for older people to get to know their way around computers and the Internet. It really gives them the chance to communicate with people in different places, and of course their relatives. :-)
That is a great tip about starting off with games like solitair or doing jigsaws. I wish I could convince my in-laws to have a go, but they are quite stubborn about not wanting such a "beast" in their house - hehe!
Thanks for making the time to talk with my computer user group, you really inspired them to go on to greater things. I had considered sending you some sort of reward but it seems Bob got there before me. I hope you are up to it, there an energetic group.
Geriatric, I sent you a message yesterday, but it was not put up; so will try once again. YOU & the Zimmers were on ABC eve news last eve & I like to have had a
Peter, I love what you do. I'm concerned about you -- I hope you are getting enough sleep. You look so tired. (I miss your wallpaper...) Thanks for all you do.
and my 38 year old husband thinks he's too old to use a computer (I told him he was nuts)......talk about terrified!!! You are an inspiration for ANYONE who thinks they can't learn computers!!! Kudos!!!
hi peter. i am very touched. i am 22 years old and my dad celebrated his 75 birthday this year. the age difference is a bit unusual i know ;-) all i want to say is thank you so much. it is SO good to see that even older people can get in-touch with computers and technical stuff. please keep up your youtube hobby, you are a example not only for older people but also and especially for us younger people! bye :-)
Peter, I live in FL. Just saw you and the Zimmers on ABC News, the hightest rated TV news in the evening. Showed my wife... hey, there's the guy I always talk about. She loved you.
This is a great initiative. I've been thinking of getting my grandmother set up with a computer. I live in another country and use Skype and MSN a lot to chat with my parents, but so far I've been confined to 'snail mail' with my grandmother.
Greetings Peter. It is so amazing the contacts that these means of communication bring to us. I grew up with amateur radio and have a lic and still think it is quite amazing as well. Live each day. It's really a fantastic world.
Hi Peter. I made an irreverant response video to the Zimmers video (I'm a washed up comedian of sorts.) Someone from the BBC documentary just called to see if they could use a short clip of my YT video shot off the screen. I said yes, of course, and am extremely honoured to be included in this project in a very, very small way. Good luck with the launch of the song!
what a wonderful program in the retirement home. This could help people all over the world stay in touch with their loved ones. Thanks for sharing this!
Peter, regarding voice/video recording while using skype: If you are using your Mac, find "ecamm" by aid of google, watch out for their Call Recorder - it may help, there is also the
Conference Recorder that works well with Apple's iChat ...
Great success on another great video Peter, awsome work ur doing working with others on Computers, Great work again and hope to see more vids from ya :D
Good to see you enjoying yourself Peter - and great to see some of the important work you're doing. You're becoming such a good role model for all ages. Well done and thanks.
I am impressed with what an excellent communicator you are, in opening the eyes of others in your generation to the benefits of modern technology. Well done, sir!
Hey :). Just to let you know, you can maximize the webcam image on skype so we can see these people better from your webcam. Just wanted you to know. Wont bother explaining how its done, I'll let google or your own brain work that one out. Its easy :).
danng, you would make my papaw think he was an idiot.
Your so into technology...

Hello Peter, I wanted to let you know what your doing is excellent and very generous. I have helped teach computers to elderly people after school in a program called Computeers. It was all voluntary and it was the best learning experience for both of us.

Wow, to think I'd forgotten about the good old restart. Fixes anything you can do to a computer unless you've got a hacker in there. I guess there's a problem with being a techy. I get to caught up with my complicated solutions that I forgot about simple restarts.

Hello Peter, I haven't watched any of your videos for a while, but I am glad to see you are still having fun making them. This video is interesting, I think it's great for older people to get to know their way around computers and the Internet. It really gives them the chance to communicate with people in different places, and of course their relatives. :-)

Good video and valid points made about elderly and the use of computers, I agree, more elderly people should get to know computers and use them.

That is a great tip about starting off with games like solitair or doing jigsaws. I wish I could convince my in-laws to have a go, but they are quite stubborn about not wanting such a "beast" in their house - hehe!

This is a great initiative. I've been thinking of getting my grandmother set up with a computer. I live in another country and use Skype and MSN a lot to chat with my parents, but so far I've been confined to 'snail mail' with my grandmother.

Hi Peter. I made an irreverant response video to the Zimmers video (I'm a washed up comedian of sorts.) Someone from the BBC documentary just called to see if they could use a short clip of my YT video shot off the screen. I said yes, of course, and am extremely honoured to be included in this project in a very, very small way. Good luck with the launch of the song!

Peter, regarding voice/video recording while using skype: If you are using your Mac, find "ecamm" by aid of google, watch out for their Call Recorder - it may help, there is also the
