Somehow this brings to mind the term, "knows enough to be dangerous!"

There's a reason why I don't do web on my cell phone, don't do social
networking websites, don't do IM, YM or texting.  If it's possible to be
old school when it comes to technology I guess I'm part of it.  If it's
new and useful, that's one thing.  If it's just new to be new, that's
another.  

Heck, I'm still happy with the 3.2 spec for HTML!  

All hail Galaxar.....RinL
