Why P.J. O'Rourke Doesn't Use A Computer

from the get-with-it dept

I'm beginning to get sick of folks who think they're special simply because they don't use a computer. P.J. O'Rourke (who is an annoying writer to begin with) goes on and on about why he won't use a computer (the NY Times doesn't want you to read this unless you 'fess up and tell them who you are). At the end, though, he admits that he's just a big baby who doesn't use a computer because he can't figure out how to use one and has too much pride to ask some kid to teach him.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
