I am a retired software engineer, having spent 30+ years of my career as a software tester. I have had a series of PCs for 18 years. I do not own a smart phone (or "dumb phone"), tablet, laptop, or any similar device and do not plan to own any such. As someone who tested software for usability, I really have problems with Windows (especially Windows 7); but some of my favorite non-Microsoft applications do not run on a Mac or under Linux. By the way, my wife has a cell phone. It is a "dumb phone" that is rarely turned on. We still use land-line, wired phones because Southern California Edison has too many unplanned outages that crash VoIP systems and leave local cell towers without any power. During a power outage, our land-line phone -- self-powered by AT&T -- allows me to call Edison to report the lack of electricity. -- David E.
