[QUOTE="soberups, post: 842467, member: 14668"] I remember when we transtitioned from 50-line paper delivery records to the original DIAD I in the summer of 1991. A lot of the older drivers really struggled with the technology and it took them many days if not weeks to get comfortable using the DIAD. Unlike me, they had not grown up in the 80's and had never spent hours feeding quarters into a Pac Man or Missile Command console, and the entire concept of computerized delivery records was outside of their personal frame of reference. I personally couldnt [I]wait[/I] to get my hands on a DIAD, and when it was finally my turn to "go live" it took me less than half an hour to become fully proficient with it. 20 years later, and now[I] I[/I] am the "old fart" who needs his kids to help him figure out Facebook and who refuses to upgrade to one of those newfangled "smart" phones. I guess everyone has a cetain level of technology that they are comfortable with, and anything beyond that is pushing the envelope. [/QUOTE]
