Yeah, a ton of old-schoolers are technophobic indeed.

I know several old timers who love to play poker and are total fish but when I tell them I play on the internet they flip out asking questions like "how do you know it's fair?" "how do you know your money won't just disappear?" etc.
I then explain to them that the poker rooms have a huge incentive to keep the games fair because of how much rake they're making and that if there were some indications that it isn't fair they'd lose a ton of revenue.
Then the very next time it comes up they ask the exact same questions like I'd never addressed them before...senile bastards [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
