I think I'm finally understanding though, change is a hard thing to accept. You spent your life learning the inner workings of a manual transmission. You know what happens when you push the clutch, what happens when you move the stick into another slot, and what happens when you release the clutch.

I can understand not wanting to learn new technology, or having something taken away from you (clutch pedal). I see this sort of mindset all the time, some people think computers make life more difficult. Most of these people don't have the willingness to learn how to use them to enhance their lives or experiences.
That reminds me, our local chapter of the Luddites Association meets on the last Wednesday of the month.
Thanks I nearly forgot.
