Ever hear of Dimentia or Alzheimer's? Mom started with the former and over a few years short progressed to the latter. She couldn't handle anything more complex than the old fashioned drum style tuners. She even forgot how to work her simple one button phone mate answering machine.I nursed her last TV set until she passed because you can't buy them anymore.
And, I hope you never have to watch your parents degenerate the way my Mom did. I somehow don't think you would call them dumb, would you?
