You suggested that the information I wanted from CBC TV (press
releases) might be in their RSS feed. I went to the CBC website
and found their RSS page (http://www.cbc.ca/rss). I then reported
that it didn't have any press releases--or indeed, any programming
information except for the Rick Mercer Report. You then suggested
that I use Google to get to the same page. I still don't understand
your suggestion. How will I find any different information on that
page if I enter it via Google instead of via another CBC page?




WQ is attempting to school you on how to use Internet search engines for
yourself. I'm not sure he cares if those searches actually yield the
information you're seeking.

It's cute when old people master technology.

It's cute when people don't do math.

The "baby boomers" are responsible for all these home computers. Thirty
years later, they are now "old". In some cases, they may be coming to
the "technology" now, but in other cases, they have been around it for
a long time. It's no different from subtracting 40 years from a "senior
citizen" of today and seeing that the 20 or 25 year old back in 1967 was
listening to the Grateful Dead.

The kids today think they've invented it all, but they just fit into
something others have defined. They don't know what it was like to
want a computer, and it at first being an impossible desire and then
a few years later it being still too expensive for them. They don't know
what it was like to learn about computer networks for the first time,
and not yet have a computer, and no way to get access when they did.

The kids today are similar to the followers of forty years ago who
took on the trappings of long hair and tie dye, following those who
had done things with no model. The kids today aren't trendsetters,
they are followers, jumping on all the latest "technology" without
ever doing any evaluating, without ever doing anything original.

Witness all the people who have so little to say themselves in
this newsgroup that they merely post news articles from elsewhere.
