Well said, GreyEagle...have a brother that I haven't talked to in over 30 years....why?...he lives out of state, and whenever I tried to call him via TTY or VP, he refuses to take the call....saying "I don't want to talk to a machine!"....he won't buy a computer either. Says it's a waste of $$....but really, it's because he cannot understand (or will not try) the Internet technology....Well, the way I see it....it's his loss...and I don't dwell on it....and...he's HEARING, for God's sake!..But still considers me as "retarded."...so go figure!
