My PC. First, it was just a whim, but I didn't want to lose the skills I learned in college and my job. Now, my landlord wants everything online, so I have no choice there. And it's much easier ordering groceries online than going through the aisles and having it delivered. I had a "glitch" recently, and until it was fixed, I felt adrift.

@MaryJanine I went so long before going online. Now I can’t imagine life without it!

I imagine quite a few people who switched to online from longhand feel that way, too. My one brother (who uses a computer to this day) said at first I didn't NEED to have one, and I told him for the above reasons, I needed one.(He controls my finances from the sale of our childhood home, you understand, and everytime I want something out of the ordinary, I have to go through R and I to get what I want/need.) But seriously, it's much easier to go online, especially if I need something from my landlord, then call and leave a message that no one calls you back on, or,worse, you don't have their number to contact them.
