Trouble is, I'm part of it! In spite of my best efforts, I've been glued to Facebook recently, following the rape/murder of Jill Meagher in Melbourne, the appalling comments of Alan Jones in Sydney and now the missing 5-yr-old April Jones in Wales. Not that I ever use my own Facebook account, as I can't understand it! It's nothing but a big mess to me, but I keep it open just in case I want to find a friend lost along the way.
And, in spite of your best efforts, Infogenium, I still can't figure Twitter out. Now and then I get an email telling me somebody has tweeted me, but it's never anything I need to know.
A couple of weeks back, after sitting in a restaurant for nearly an hour waiting for a friend who was sitting in a similarly named restaurant a couple of kilometres down the road, I finally got my Techno Wizard friend - yes, you Infogenium - to get me a mobile. I'd got rid of my first one years ago, as I kept forgetting to take it with me, found recharging a pain in the neck and had difficulty hearing on it. I was buying $30 credits and finding that on the rare occasion I wanted to make a call, it was out of credit. It took ages for me to realise it ran out according to time, not number of calls made. If I'd kept it for a year, it would have cost $360 for one or two calls. Ridiculous.
But this new one will last for 365 days on $20 credit, so that suits me better. However, I haven't had occasion to use it and probably never will.
Olga, you are treading on dangerous ground suggesting I download whatever I want to!
Infogenium - I had thought of taking my pc to you to fix the night we had dinner at the Lebanese restaurant. Pity it burnt down the other night! Lucky we weren't inside it when the blast occurred, or we would have been blown to Kingdom Come.
