Microsoft has announced a new advertising campaign
targeting older workers who are finding that the

Old to Use a Computer (Part II)

7> You’re still holding out to buy a computer that, like the lights in your house, is powered by gas.

6> You keep forgetting to shut off your turn signal on the Internet Superhighway.

5> You have to hold your 56-inch flat panel display at arm’s length to read e-mail.

4> It’s not responding at all to the buggy whip.

3> You can’t cope with the blur of Web pages coming through your 300 baud modem.

2> You’ve finally burned your entire collection of MP3s — onto wax cylinders.
