I can assure you that I've been involved with developing and operating some
of the highest technologies, things that you can't even imagine but, if I
don't want to install some technology that you think is the cat's meow, I'm
a technophobe.

There is some middle ground after all. Some call it "diff'rent strokes".

how to embrace new soaring technology. Jim

Dan, you contentious, technophobic, piece of moose...no, wait!!! Once you get
used to "the new normal" ascendant with much of humanity being continuously
on-line, and compulsively texting to the point of having no time for nuanced
communications, you'll be just fine. Embrace your new reality!

While I would normally NOT reply to this....... I'm sorta, "On the fence". I will assume (yes, I know the acronym of this), this post was a bit of, "Tongue in check?".

BTW, have a great day.
