I wish-we are talking about a 77 year-old who refuses to learn how to turn on 
a computer and a soon-to-be 101 year old, who thinks computers are a fad. 
"The only computer I ever need is this pencil here! You don't need fancy 
expensive gadgets to work! Just use your brain!"

There are more anachronisms then just us, folks. To be fair, he is a direct 
link to the Civil War days. His Grandfather told him stories of then and the 
Southern Reconstruction Days, such as; the Mountain folks were so poor, they 
didn't have ways of buying anything, including salt. They had to go to the smoke 
house, dig up the floor, and boil out the salt from the dirt, to get enough to 
prepare their pork meat for the winter... 
 
I will set up that account, when I have time to play with it some, for there 
are a couple of books on Elizabethan garb that really want, too. 
thank you!
