A good read, thanks.

I don't hate computers, but I do find Microsoft loathsome. My next computer will be an Apple.

Computers are just one of many modern irritants. The only technological proficiency I needed growing up was the ability to turn on a transister radio and change television channels with a dial to one of five channels (ABC-NBC-CBS-PBS and the local independent station). And then there was the rotary-dial telephone, which later progressed to push-button.

That was the sum total of our household high-tech back then.

With the clocks "springing" ahead an hour yesterday I had to re-visit how to change the car clock, among many others.

There's a lot more to know these days, and a lot more to break.
