Why must someone either purchase and install the latest technology
or... be a technophobe?

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".

The SSA convention would be a good place for technophobes to learn how to embrace new soaring technology.

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.

:-D

Thought I'd included myself on the technophobe list with the early GPS bit!
Perhaps there are degrees of phobia?
Most of us overcame the fear of using GPS, transponder or a pee tube.
Some people refuse to try Vietnamese soup.
