Flummoxed By Ever-Changing Technology

A sure sign of getting old is when, more and more, you find yourself flummoxed by todays ever-changing technology.  If not for advancements in health care, I think I might prefer to have been born around 1780-81; even though I would now have been dead for at least 150 years.

I'm aware there have been perhaps millions of articles written on the basic subject of "flummoxed by current technology"; at least a few by your's truly.  But in the category of making a point, "done before" shouldn't discourage a person from trying again.  If we did only what has never been done, we'd all be spending our time trying to figure out how to get politicians to just tell the truth.

The iPhone to me is more than just vexing: it's vexing X 10!  These darn updates are nearly killing me.  Just when I'm about to figure out how to work around the previous updates, Mr. Cook and his no doubt super-smart group of techno-wizards come up with another round of updates.  Hey Tim, if you're reading this on your iPhone, which is probably several versions ahead of mine, how about a moratorium on iPhone updates until at least the first of the year; which is like two weeks.  You could consider it a Christmas gift, or if you prefer, a Winter gift, to all your loyal iAddicts.

Although I don't consider myself an iAddict, I have come to the realization that it's nearly impossible to run my world-wide operation on a 1965 Sears transistor radio.  However, if Klietus can figure that out I'm going to dust off the most recent issue of the Sears Wish Book and get to ordering.  If I call my order in today, my new transistor radio could be ready for pickup at our local Sears Catalogue Store as early as mid February.  Oh how I miss the old days!

We'll see how things develop.  In the meantime, stay tuned and I'll try to keep you posted on technical matters and such as that...
