I agree. In fact, I seem to recall that Bush stopped using e-mail for that very reason after he became president.
But while I agree that McCain is more qualified than Obama to be President -- although still not THAT qualified given that he's never held any type of executive position -- I have to say that anyone who cannot use a computer in this day and age is really out of it.
Both my 85-year-old mother and my 78-year-old mother-in-law can at least use Word, Google and e-mail. I gotta wonder about someone who can't even do that, if that is in fact the case with John McCain.
I would definitely count his Navy command(s) as executive positions.
I would want a source other than CNN as to what McCain's computer skills actually are.
That said, I still have a few very successful colleagues in their 50's and 60's who are computerphobes.
My parents also refuse to use computers, but that's another story . . . .
Most elderly people I know get into computers because they love to be able to e-mail with their families.

Idiotic. Almost as idiotic as the brouhaha about Bush not reading newspapers. These guys are powerful people. They pay other people to read newspapers and type up documents in MS Word. I will not vote for someone just because they are hip in internet lingo/slang and text Scarlet Johannson.
