A story about France, a grandmother and an iBook
Isabelle Hontebeyrie
It's the post that caught my eye, as well as - I must admit - the name of the blog : "Neopoleon".
About the post... the first lines are extraordinary:
I'm catching up on email (haven't been able to check it regularly in about 24 hours), and I just read one from my French grandmother (she's in her mid 80s).
She's the one for whom I bought the iBook a little over three weeks ago.
So, she's been with the thing for three (3) weeks, and she just wrote (using email) that she couldn't sleep, and decided to get on the web and look up her favorite ballet dancers and poets.
Got me thinking about my grandmother and how she "missed" the Internet (she died a few years ago) and email.
I can just picture her, in a small French village emailing me in Montreal.
And no... it's not sad, it's just life.
