That means you're probably a healthy eater. We used to have a Pampered Chef can opener. They were real good once you figured out how to work it but using wasn't at all intuitive. We had relatives visiting who wanted to open a new can of coffee. They eventually mangled the can enough to rip it open. We had to transfer the unused coffee into the old coffee can.
I hate most high tech stuff. I think that it has all these wonderful features which it does badly. A telephone wired to the wall is devoid of extras compared to a cell phone but, when you need to make a call, it's more reliable and the sound quality is better.
