My younger brother by 4 years... he has never had an email account and never uses computers.
Since he moved to Maryland this month, I took him to Costco and put him on my Executive Membership account. Found out when they asked him for his email address before they took his photo for his card.
I'm jealous.
@DCPatriot After having been "on call" for years,I refused to even own a cell phone when they first came out,and usually left my dial phone unplugged unless I wanted to make a call. Then I would make the call,and unplug the damn thing after hanging up.
Life was wonderful this way,with no disturbances.
Until I was up on the roof replacing shingles one day,and when I went to get off the roof,my knees wouldn't bend enough to allow me to get on the ladder.
At that time the hunting club up on the other end of the island didn't even exist. It was just me and the wildlife on the island,along with a few cows.
Soooo,there I sat on that hot roof on that hot summer day,and all I could come up with was to either just lay down and try to let the sun and the heat allow my knees to work again,or to ease up the the edge of the roof and try to lower myself down as far as I could before having to let go and fall,and land on those bent,non-working knees.
Plan 1 seemed like the clever move,so that is what I did,and I eventually got my knees working well enough to climb down the ladder,and once I got down,I didn't even go into the house. I went straight to my truck and drove to town to buy a cell phone.
After all these years,I finally,reluctantly,started accepting and answering texts. Primarily because I didn't have much choice. Still refuse to do chats,and have no idea how to set up voice mail,and no desire to learn. I bought my cell phone for MY purposes,not to become a slave to any damn fool that wants to send me some voice mail brain fart.
I still turn the damn thing off when I'm driving,and sometimes forget to turn it back on until I want to make a call and can't.
