Most of the time, I love computers and all the wonderful things advancing technology has brought us. But sometimes I feel like a friend of mine, who sent me a typed letter with this handwritten note at the bottom:
This is/was an e-mail. I hit the wrong key. It "saved" in My Documents, but I couldn't e-mail. My solution—good old US postal service. I understand they need the business.
I couldn't have better summarized my ambivalence toward high-tech devices. Back in the 1970's, when I was paid to work with computers—yes, we did have computers back then, not that most people today would recognize them as such—I used to say that computers were half voodoo. Now I'm sure they're up to 90%.
Anyway, the comment made my day, and Porter's too.
