True story: I am a Luddite. I hate technology. I do not have a cell phone. Do not. For car emergencies [...]

You have one of those new-fangled aut-oh-moh-biles?

"No true Luddite..."

Seriously: How does a self-proclaimed Luddite post on Free Republic? Shouldn't you be using - I dunno - smoke-signals?

Luddite status....
I am forced against my will. Around the mid 1970s I had to work with computers in the university library where I worked.

Computers have always had it in for me.
More than once there would be a row of computers around the office and one would have “no signal” or blank screen while the others were installed just fine. At a training session I said to the trainer “is it true mine is the only one that has gone blank” “yes” “Then why?” She said “I don’t know. Just move to a vacant one farther over.”
