Hi Howard;
Yup, it exists, but I try to turn it to my advantage, and usually quite
sucessfully.
I never let them know at the outset that I'm a Luddite, but when the system
administrator of a new ISP suggests he/she might be able to walk me through
the steps of setting up my software for their service, and then starts right
in talking about "clicking on icons", I get great joy out of exclaiming:
"I don't use any of that Windows CRAP !".
Now THEY are the ones on the defensive, and we usually have a very nice
conversation ending with them admitting to me that they use Linux. <GG>
