This news from the April 2005 issue 32 of The National Archives' "Ancestors" magazine : > Luddites united -- > > A new family history group has been formed to combat the increasing > use of technology in the hobby. Led by the self-styled > arch-technophobe, William Gates, the body aims to remove what he calls > the "contagion of computers" and return to the days when everything > was handwritten. "We're not sure that ballpoint pens or pencils > count. Our ancestors wrote with quills; that should be good enough > for us." Deputy chairman of the group, Dr. Steven Jobs, has also > called for the compulsory use of Latin and secretary hand in note > taking. The inaugural meeting of the society will take place at 12 > noon on 1 April. Best wishes, Lynne
