You are not funny y'know.
I consider that PC for senior citizens "ageist"...I plan to sue.
i can see this becoming a hot topic
Lets think how microsoft will accomodate the elderly..
Will a mouse actually be a furry mouse looking creature?
Will they have an extra large keyboard so that they can see the keys? Will it make them tea so they dont have to get up and walk to the kitchen?
Maybe microsoft will supply a special computer chair with incontinence pads on it?

How about the female pc that doesn't run on electricity, but runs on chocolate instead?
Not me 
There is a distinct yet subtle difference between the male and female PC, some might not be able to see the difference, but I assure you it is there. It is a lot like the difference between the male and female mind.
The female can "multitask" ie. use all the brain/processor for several task at once. But the male version is more focused and has to parallel process. The male version uses all processor power on one topic, and none on any other task...YET STILL MANAGES TO COMPLETE BOTH TASKS.
It's a bit like when a man is watching something on TV and the female chooses that moment to talk to him and distract him.
Most husbands can parallel process. They learn to follow whatever line of thinking they are on, while at the same time listening to what their wives say, without engaging the brain. And listening is important, because at any time they may be challenged and asked to quote the last sentence in full. A vital and additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as "they can deliver it tuesday" or "I've invited her for dinner", and react in the appropriate manner all without engaging the higher brain functions!
As I said, it's a subtle but telling difference.
