adapting to DU4 is a piece of cake compared to getting used to the tech on these new phones.

I understand your reluctance though, 30 years ago I knew all the operating systems of the computers, all the new cameras, and all the new tech on the cellular phones.

I'm no longer interested in trying to keep up. If I need help on the latest tech, I call my grandchildren, and within 2-3 years, my great-grandchildren. They know it all by the time they're 8-10 years old.

We HAVE to adapt. It's the same as with micro-wave ovens, convection ovens, digital cameras, cellular phones, electric vehicles, ordering online...and I could go on forever.

Please try to adapt. We don't want to lose anyone of our friends here on DU because of the progress of that which is inevitable.
