Henrietta has always prided herself on her ability to (ok, grudgingly) adapt to change. She owns (and knows how to operate!) a computer, a VCR, and all the other acoutriments of modern life. And has all the aggravations.
    (She actually got her first PC before her son--the computer genius--did.)
    (Of course, in fairness, he set up this web page.)
