He's in his early 60s. He isn't that out of touch, except that he a few believes that are just plain wrong, and never were right.

Everybody else, including myself in my own home, don't use technology invented during the premiere of Ben Hur.

LOL, the store's got a reasonable new fusebox. But the house still has one with the screw-in fuses, though we do have the resettable versions inserted. But that's only logical, since we have an electro technical store and sell fuseboxes (like the painter whose house needs painting and the doctor that never has a check-up). My father has been planning on replacing the fusebox for years now, we usually have one on the shelf in the store downstairs. But it just hasn't happened.
