Just over twenty years ago I started out with a Tandy 1000. Easy as pie and a great learning experience in that there was nothing intimidating about computers. Moved on two years later when I needed a more advanced pc, working as a transcriber and about that time Prodigy came into being (when I think of it now it's the difference between the invention of the wheel and flight!). Electronics didn't intimidate me at all...then. Through an assortment and advances of computers, basic stereos to sound systems, tv's and cell phones I did okay. Until recently when attempting to reconnect a DVD/VHS component through a DVR into the tv understood why, by a certain age, technology screams "Gotcha!" to the point of us considering "Final Exit". The abacus, a couple of tin cans on a long string and cave drawings are looking pretty good about now. Modern headaches…and frustration…is right!
