  In this day and age, I can't believe some people still turn on the date stamp on their cameras. (That info is embedded on the picture file; why make your pictures all ugly by having it? I find this is something older people, 50+, do!)

  Have rotary phones! The great aunt we are staying with has an avocado green one hanging in her kitchen. I thought it was just for decoration until the damn thing rang this morning!

  Pay their bills at a bank, and drive an hour weekly to do so. My in laws own a business and some rental properties and they drive an hour each week to pay their various bills instead of just using computer/telephone. It drives me crazy!!!

  ^^ This is my UO. I don't think people should send out invitations via Evite for family events. If you are having a BBQ (::giggle::) with your friends, fine. If you're hosting a party with friends and relatives of various ages, no way. I think it is tacky and risky. You'd have to be sure that everyone had email, everyone's email is up to date, and everyone checks his/ her email.

  I have definitely written a check at the grocery store. I keep a card wallet in my purse but left it at home once. Thank goodness grocery stores still accept checks or we would have left hungry and empty-handed.

  I'm totally a paper invite person too so that's what I send out, but I don't mind evites for informal gatherings as long as they aren't too tacky. Two birthday party evites I received recently mentioned gift recommendations--kids' clothing sizes, "please bring book instead of card," etc. I think that's super tacky. If people want to know what your kid likes/needs, they will ask.

  I live in one state and work in another and can only e-file one state, so I do a paper copy for that one. However, it's all filled out electronically and then printed, so I don't know if you would count that.

  @nix55 and @bc&lm no mention of gifts on my e-vites! I was asked separately what size DS is wearing, what types of toys he wanted and what books he had of a specific author. 

  
  

  ETA - words

  Yeah, I have been asked too, and I have no problem responding if asked. I would just never ever mention them on an invite!

  That some people don't have call waiting or caller ID. No, wait-they refuse to get call waiting and caller ID. This is MIL/FIL and I don't know how they do it!
  
  I also know someone who doesn't own a computer at home. Not that he's against the internet or can't afford it-just does everything on his phone.
