We live in a fairly rarefied environment, in which we all understand what you're saying - we may choose to not move to Apple TV or what not, but we know what you're talking about. And while we may have Blackberries or iPhones, the majority of folks are using a 4 year old LG and have zero interest in upgrading.

Oh I get it, but I'm just wondering which side is the majority.
My dad is one of those who doesn't care to go too high tech. Not because he cant. Hell, he's be on the internet and had a website longer than anyone here with the exception of myself, GonZo and Danny Cox. And he still updates it.....via dial up.
His TV? Rabbit ears all the way. I keep telling him the FCC is gonna make him at least buy a converter in February. He'll deal with that when he has to...or stop watching TV. He has DVD instead of VHS only because I bought him a player as a gift a few Christmas' back.
I have caught him eyeballing the G1 Google phone though. Currently he has some simple nokia voice only jobbie....i dont think it even has a camera, but he does text a little bit.
I just wonder if there's more of him or more of me out there. Likely the majority of the populace lives some place inbetween.
