What to get an 80-year-old?

Although a nice '58 or '59 reissue Les Paul would take him back to the 'day' (he may not be a solid body guitar man though) I wouldn't get any computer stuff for him. Getting gifts for someone that has "been around" is hard. Maybe he needs some piece of new gear or something is about the only thing I'd lean toward?

But he uses his computer all of the time! He's *always* recording with it. That's why I had considered Cakewalk...

...I forgot: he also loves mysteries ... but buying him books is old. I've gotten him so many books and CDs in the past, it's not funny.

Further, as for "new gear," he always goes right out and buys whatever he needs/wants, as he's just that way.

The man means the world to me - - I want to show him so ... this is tough!
