Cyn,
Please don't let the luddites discourage you. Facebook can be very useful.
You should hear the woodworkers: "Why would I want one of them new-fangled feriegn table saws? Why, my grand-daddy's unisaw worked fine for him, and it works just fine for me! And it's good old american cast iron."
"Um, what happened to the blade guard?"
"Took it off back in the winter of '72. It was in the way. And who needs a fancy riving knife, anyway? I just jam a screw-driver into the kerf, and keep on pushing."
Seriously, I know some people like that. They don't do facebook either...
Thanks,
Bill
