Kitty, if I had my druthers I'd still be using DOS - I thought the first 
menu-driven programs
were too stupid.  I do still use a DOS program for my work.
As for cameras, I went to great lengths to find, and expense to buy, a 
totally manual
camera.  I want to tell the camera what I want to focus on and how - not have 
it tell me how
to take the picture.  My DH has a fancy auto-focus, and I hate it.  Can't 
take the kind of
pictures I like with it, either.
I guess that indicates that I am old and set in my ways, but there are lots 
of changes 
that I would appreciate.  And I'm not a technophobe - I really like to learn 
how to do 
new things.  It just seems that the menu- or wizard-driven programs, and the 
auto-
focus facilities treat us as if we are unable to do things for ourselves.

manual override because I still want to control certain aspects of the
photo.
