Is your implication that she cannot plug in a cable and a power cord? Is she
living
alone? If so, what percentage of women over 65 do you think are similarly
incapable
and living alone?
I'm asking because the implication was about whether the government should have
prevented the networks from switching over to HDTV in order that elderly women
living alone who cannot plug in a cable and power cord (or have someone help
them)
are able to continue watching their old televisions.

In reverse order of priority, I hope! :-) Good luck!
