A few more thoughts on tech stuff....[ Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#8)

I agree with most of the previous comments, so I only have a few things to add: - not all cool stuff makes it, like Quadrophonic hi-fi (not until Home Theater, anyway) - to quote Scott Adams, some products are made for "Rich, stupid people", like whoever bought the first picture-phone. I know many techy people who still use dial-up internet at home, but can't live without a cell phone. Me, I am the other way around. I had a cell phone and gave it back; I really don't want to be accessible all the time, and I don't want to become dependent on something you have to remember to re-charge. And north of the 49th, bill-paying services don't exist, the banks do it all,and mine does it at no charge,in fact I get "points" for paying bills on-line that I can use for groceries. So, it depends on your experiences. The original author certainly has had bad ones, and that affects anyone's future behavior; let's all wish him better luck in the future....dave w
