Hahaha, there was an entire generation who simply stopped at the television remote control (once there were enough channels for that to matter). My father was one of them. The first time he wielded a computer mouse, he picked it up, pointed it at the screen, and started clicking, just like with the remote. He never did figure out how to make it move on the screen, or where to click. It was fascinating, and this was a smart man. He had simply completely checked out of technology a good 25 years before that.

Heh... Thad Cochran has been in the senate since Joe Walsh joined The Eagles!
