That is, if you like being a couple of years behind the curve. My ocular muscles are getting sore from rolling my eyes at you. I wish there was an emoticon for that. Anyhoo, if you were perhaps thinking about becoming at least somewhat current in your approach to these issues, I've got a little tip for you:
Be the box.
You're welcome.

What's really "out" is the about-to-be-made-obsolete talking about the wonders of technology.
IT geeks are polishing programs that will write next year's distribution agreement masterpieces, we all know that, and find Mr. Man "wanting to stay home" ironic because pretty soon he'll have no choice. That was, of course an implicit cruelty in your post.
But guess what flower? some geeks are working on a program that does snide comments on grammar AND can compose the occassional "that's so 1998 post." Sorry flower, but pretty soon you'll just be another "first roomer" trying to tread water like me
