I was not really referring to ALL women "of a certain age." Basically only my own relatives.

If I had said THEY would have to change the batteries, they would have declined the lights.

My mom learned to work the stereo my dad bought in the 1980s only after he died. I am always setting the clock on her new stove because she does not read owners manuals. She also never learned to work the VHS recorder my dad bought in the 1980s. The only reason he bought it was because it was on sale. It had three heads. Yes, that's right. Not two heads. Not four heads. Three heads.

My mother is an admitted technophobe who still refers to the stereo as the Hi-Fi. Grin.
