Can't It All Stay the Same?
I hate to say it, but I am not a big fan of change. So when a new technology comes into my life, I am often slow to accept and use these innovations. I also have to admit that I have a very short fuse when this new and wonderful technology doesn't work to my expectations (setting up my wireless router was an experience that led to a lot of colorful language). I was a bit skeptical about MOO- I didn't know if I would be able to keep up, or that I would even be able to log on. But as always, I surprised myself by how quickly I was able to pick it up. I know it's not rocket science, but I'm always worried that I'm not going to catch on. That is one of the most interesting aspects of technology-we will never know everything, but if you have some background knowledge, you can generally learn to use just about any program. I may not want to accept change, but once I do, I'm always glad that I have learned something new. The most intimidating part of using technology is the fact that it is always changing. Once you master one thing, it is already obsolete. It's frustrating, but this seems to be the direction in which our society is headed-everything is disposable-so I had best get used to change.

I have similar feelings to you. I'm slow to change, but am surprised when I quickly pick up the new technology. I got so used to using the Spanish keyboard, even the few times I used it, now my fingers are still wanting to go to the Spanish place for some of the characters.
