| I think the word is 'technophobe', and from time to time I hear rumors about
| people who are anti-this-or-that including anti-progress.  We could always
| provide a protected piece of land somewhere where they could all go and
| live like cave men (O Brave New World!) or maybe if we ignore them the'll
| go away.  Kind of an amusing diversion though, to hear about these 'fringies'
| periodically. ( as long as they don't start passing laws )

"Laws"?  Remember why they used mentats in DUNE?

I agree that calculators and such should be reserved for the problems
for which hand-calculation is impractical (and do so myself); but let's
not go too far.
