Ralph, Since you offered an opinion that distresses me, I will offer one too. Of course, it is your prerogative to have whichever plane(s)suit you and that is not what this is about.
My duties at work include computer tech support for my department, responsibility for buying new hardware, software, digital cameras, etc., so I am no stranger to new technology and I do my best to keep current. Nevertheless, not everything that is "old" is useless and obsolete and not everything that is "new" is necessarily the best solution for a need. Whether we're talking about people or objects, I would really like folks to stop the stereotypical thinking that old is synonymous with bad and new is synonymous with good. I know, I know. Friends tell me I beating a dead horse by saying such things. But I know far too many "old" people who have always lived full out and will continue to do so 'til they're buried. And I know far too many "young" people who spend their days under the control of one addiction or another, doing nothing positive for themselves or anyone else, to think that the year a person was born is the primary driving force. Spook
