Dave is incorrectly bashing Mennonites.
Now maybe I'm not making software for your mother. Maybe your mother is really stupid. Or maybe she's a Luddite or a Mennonite, who, for religious reasons can't use software.

Having spent 6 years at a Mennonite highschool where we were the first high school in Winnipeg (pop. 600,000) to get a networked computer lab (it ran Novell (which we hacked and got suspended)) and 2 years at a Mennonite college (at the UofWaterloo) where we were the first residence to get in-room Internet access I can assure you (and Dave) that Mennonites use software. But granted some other anabaptist religious groups such as the Amish or Hutterites may not use software recreationally for religious reasons I do believe that some groups are quite willing to use techonlogy to their advantage when it comes to farming. Not being a Mennonite (or Amish or Hutterite) myself (despite doing quite while in Menno History in Grade 12) my recollection is a little foggy. Perhaps one of my many Mennonite friends who don't object to the Internet would fill us in.

So Dave when you say Mennonite in the above quoted portion of text you're really meaning to say the Amish or the Hutterites though as I've pointed out they too on occasion will use technology (but only in the barn).

Can anyone find an Amish or Hutterite weblog??
