I have compromised on certain fronts (I recently threw out my old floppy
disks and bought a couple of USBs), but essentially I am what Japanese
people call "retoro". That means I light a charcoal hibachi on cold days,
don't have a mobile phone and refuse on principle to try and understand what
an ipod (?) is.

Being regarded as a human coelacanth or an evolutionary throwback is par for
the course!
