Hi Mel, there's hope because there are only about 6-8 grandmother
objections to computers/machines in all; once you've heard why
each of them is invalid, it's over! If you discover a 9th, it'll
be a new objection, hence not a grandmother-objection, even if
it's wrong. Grandmother-objections are the ones that everyone always
raises at first; rare objections whatever their direction. Chrs, S
