Jeff, if I may offer a friendly amendment to your remark?  This is an internet 
forum/list, so a computer is an essential and integral part of participating in 
it!  Computer-related info, when it's on topic and useful, is handy.

My only caution to those who prefer to stay behind when it comes to hardware 
and software updates and patches is this: when an update or patch is released, 
it also comes with a printed roadmap for hackers who want to go after those who 
remain behind.  Take a look at the update notes... they will typically read 
something like "...fixes a known vulnerability when running Geniusware 2.11 
with Flash Player enabled".  All the hackers have to do is thank Microsoft for 
publicizing the bugs and their job is made soooo much easier.  Stay in the 
lower orbit if you want to, but recognize that there are risks.  Hackers, 
phishers, and trolls never sleep.
