Well, now THAT makes sense!  I am 58, am a 
committed Luddite and was properly educated in 
the Bible from elementary school into my graduate 
studies -- I do have a Master's degree in 
Classical Language and so can do the Greek and 
even know bits of Hebrew which help with the Old Testament.

Thanks for the clarification!
