Which is actually nonsense. I love living in a digital world, I love my Macs, big and small, I love the iPad and I'm getting more attached to my Kindle. I love blogging and Twittering, although I'm not very good at doing the more promotional side of things, but I reckon that's OK. I'm trundling along at my own pace and
My brain has always done a bit of a freeze when confronted with anything too technical. My fault - I can't be bothered with it. I only discovered my car (after 5 years of ownership) had air conditioning when last month the garage offered to service the A/C for me. I said I didn't have A/C. There was a short pause.

Diandra - I envy you for living with a techie, it would be so convenient and...
Eryl - I've also failed to given birth to a techie, but too late to send back.
Jim - I was reading something about CD-Roms, & how everyone thought they'd be the next big thing at the time, but they failed because actually looking stuff up in a physical directory was easier. It's like washing machines - we all use about 2 programmes and that's it.
Jo - I'm off to have a look - Thank you!
