I don't IM or Skype. TiVo falls into the "I would if I could but I can't so I don't" category. I am a luddite with banking and write actual paper checks and physically go and see a teller to make deposits. (Though I rarely carry paper money anymore.) I adore gas grills beyond all reason.

oh, bless you. i totally thought i was a geek until i realized i don't tivo (or even cable), voicemail (gak! and i hate the phone in general, so skype isn't an option, either) or IM (however, i do twitter: less response expectation, i guess.)

i also talk to a teller when i want to deposit checks. for several years i used NetBank, and it was horriblehorrible!

i had to look up "hodad." wha?
