Luddite married to non luddite?


Actually, that's not far from the truth - at least in terms of
computers.

She had HDTV before I did too - I just didn't see the need for HDTV.
Still don't actually, but I eventually broke down and purchased one
for my office.

Oh and TiVO - she got one WAY back and even changed the drive over to
an 80 gig one. I still don't have a TiVO, a DVD player or a VCR. I
kind of cadge off of her TiVO if I want to watch something.

I was an early adopter of digital image tech with the cameras and all
my radios are up to date although a couple of them are getting a
little long in the tooth in terms of features - I don't have a newer
radio with on-board DSP for instance - all my DSP is done externally.

Other than that - yeah - I'm something of a Luddite. :)



What time does your clock say? This is a test post to see if it's you or
me.
