sharke
It may have something to do with the fact that the average age of Sonar's user base seems to be relatively high and some of the older folk are less impressed with the idea of shiny new fangled things, and also perhaps because you tend to get more careful with money as you get older. So the older you are, the more likely you are to convince yourself that what you have is perfectly good and there's no need to replace it.
That seems to go double for cars and haircuts... and sneakers. I always had to watch my dad as he got older. He would leave a 50 cent tip at a restaurant or at a buffet no tip at all.
Lots of older guys seem to be stuck in white sneakers too. Note (you know this Sharke) if you ever travel to Europe DO NOT wear white sneakers. Everyone will know from a block away that you are an American and these days that isn't the best idea.
My parents got rid of their last car about 5 or 6 years ago, it was a circa 1980 something sedan. He kept a 70 something S-10 pickup until a couple of years ago.
I make an effort to not get stuck in a hairstyle... I started just shaving my head. I either do that or a buzz cut. When I was 20 you would not have been able to convince me that I would ever cut my hair. Thankfully, I changed.
I don't know about the software and gadgets. I like new software and gadgets. I will be eligible for a phone upgrade this month and plan on a 6+. I losing this stupid wireless home phone they talked me into and going back to a landline.
I just wish I understood more about TV without cable, but I'm not convinced that any dish is better and I know that ATT internet cannot touch Comcast speed and reliability.
I do love Cakewalk updates though. Part of it is vanity. I know that. I like knowing I have the latest version.
I still have Sonar2 PE and a 386x computer but I don't use it. I have my old Dell laptop with XP. I should clean the drive, update the OS and use it or give it away.
