What about those of us who are still using Flintstone-era equipment?
Personally, I like the diversity of writing styles that we see here (though there is that saying about too much of a good thing). Let people say what they have to say in their own way, I say.
But it's advisable to write in a way dozens of international readers (including lurkers) can understand--not just today, but 15 years from now.
That's worth keeping in mind while I'm trying to be too clever for my own good.
