Good idea :-) In the past when I did a little computer training. I can say first hand seniors are wonderful people to work with. As you mentioned in most cases they have money to spend on things they see value in.

Also, they're typically more flexible with regards to when you can schedule times to meet with them. Secondly, there are a whole host of apps you could teach them to use as well. Getting started using the internet was one that worked for me... Of course, it was about '96 or '97 when I was teaching a lot of basic how to use the 'net stuff though..lol :-)

Also, I found that my senior citizen friends were a lot more willing to help me by referring me to their friends once they were confident I could help them.
