awwww, don't be embarrassed :cry:

I saw a program on TV in 1989 or so. It seems that at the World's Fair in 1939, there was an exhibit called Futurama, predicting life in 50 years. One of the predictions was that the have and the haves nots were going to be divided by reading literacy. In 1989, they revisited what life would be in 50 years. The dividing line between the haves and the have nots was predicted to be computer literacy. By being a geek, you are insuring your future :lol:

How can embracing technology make me nearly a geek!! I have a 10Mb cable broadband connection, so i make the most of it, by installing a wireless network to share the bandwidth, using VoIP to make calls and listen to music and radio online. I send text messages because they are part of my mobile phone package, as are multimedia messages.

Just glad i never got one more point or i'd be barking mad..lol.

Actually, Daftdog... you sound completely normal to me for anyone born after 1980. Its the ones born before that time that are the geeks. You have to really have been keeping up with technology to score over 30 if you were born before 1980 :lol:

Hey, that just makes you a very clever...geek, daftdog :lol:

I'd be proud if I were you. As it is, I'm the one that feels a little 'daft' around computers.

You a little daft DG?

That's like saying a horse doesn't have a long face.
One other point young missy. You are saying more or less that to be born before 1980 means you are nearly going off the geekiness register :shock:

Well have you ever heard the saying "The old dog for the hard road and the pup for the fields" ?

To me that means-------
