    Yes. Why does that make me confused?

    Pikey was not a word I was familiar with until I saw it on this board. I guess when you're exposed to them on a regular basis in your local pubs using it becomes second nature.

    What? I have made a tidy living out of GOTOs. I also like to re-use variables as often as possible (to save on memory waste). I normally use the variable "Luddite" at least three times in any one routine.

    I'm all for computers, but I'd rather that they had stopped developing them post 1990. I have some very good pre 1990 IT skills.

    started a topic I hate technology

    I hate technology

    My mobile gave up the ghost two months ago and I haven't got around to sorting out a new one.

    It's great. I'm no longer contactable while at the pub, on the train etc.

    Even better, my watch has stopped working so I can blissfully wander around with no one hassling me and with no concept of being late.

    If anyone gives me a new watch/phone for Xmas I will be mightily pissed off.

    What technological advances would you be happier without?
Working...
