After reading some of his letters-- the proffessor loved to respond to intelligent questions. I'd buy him a computer, and make sure he had a username / account on The Barrow Downs. Then he could answer whatever posts he saw fit, and edit his own list of buddies and "ignores", and send indignant private messages to whoever mauled him online ("BEHAVE, Downers!" cried the BarrowWight and Mithadan in chorus.)
But he hated typing, so maybe we'd have to "buy" him a typist, and he could dictate his responses. It would have to be somebody like Christopher Tolkien whose company he enjoyed.
Oh, and I'd ***beg*** him to tell us more about Frodo's life in Valinor.
