In general terms, a luddite is someone who is against technology. Usually, anything after the Industrial Revolution is bad. It comes from a... (Quick research), an 18th century Leicestershire man named Ned Ludd who destroyed labor-saving machinery as a protest.
In the above context, the term luddite is meant in humorous terms, usually when someone is not quite on the cutting edge of the technological wave.

Thanks. Don't be amazed if I'm frequently using this word in future posts, especially when I'm talking about myself and my lacking appreciation of modern software.

Hmm. So it's just the 2nd digit that's in doubt. We can rule out 1 and 7 straight off, and 0 too. 2,3. . . not a 4. . . 5, 6, 8 or 9. A choice of 6. What could be simpler? A lot of things. . . 8)
