That sounds like it's being kept in balance...  :)

Most of my family is on Facebook, except me... but they can pick up the
phone and call me, or send me email...  I don't hate computers, but I
see no need to use up what little time I don't have with yet one more
time consumer... I have a hard enough time staying current just with my
email and my Fido (etc) mail...  :)
