*** Remember when the MSM went crazy over [and likely exaggerated] George H.W.'s supposed unfamiliarity with a supermarket scanner? ***

That was a pure hatchet job by the MSM. However, in this case I thinks the criticism is a bit of a stretch about Ohaha and an iPod. As I can't operate one either.

Nor can I use an Xbox, Play Station or any of those game gizmo thingys. When I go to my daughter and sil's house, my 9yo granddaughter has turn on 'that thing' so I can play Guitar Hero(1)

Even worse, I've had my 'new phone' for almost 3 years and I've yet to figure out how to use the %$#$ing CAMERA! And I mean for 'stills', forget the video function, you need a PhD to figure that out.

(1) To me 'Guitar Hero' is the biggest ripoff in eons. For the price of the 'game thingy' plus the 'guitar game operator' (sold separately, natch), you can buy a darn good REAL GUITAR and have money left over for music lessons(2) . Then after a couple weeks you can REALLY play 'Smoke On The Water' (with the amp cranked to 11) to your hearts content, and irritate your neighbors until they threaten to call the cops.

(2) and Band aids for your fingers when they start bleeding before you build up callouses. 'Dire Straits' wasn't lying in 'Money for Nothing'. The pinky finger is the worse -- ouch!)
(that song is Soooo un-pc it couldn't be aired today (listen to the words closely)
