I hate those damn things with a passion (especially those without a stylus). Most of them won't even consistently register if something is drawing on it.

That must have been hard on you and your family, losing your dad at such a young age.

Me and my sisters were always close (still are today) and mom was a trooper through that. Plus neighbors and other family members were always around to help (none of my grandparents were still alive when that happened)!
