Ahh, John, if only they were jokes. No, my wife is quite the technophobe, leaving me a very busy job as Technology Czar of our home. Between TiVos, Macs, an AirPort network, I spend countless hours a week saying, “Well, it worked yesterday, let me look at it.”

As for washing machines, I assume we have one, but honestly, I wouldn’t even know where to look.
