Hi redman01,

I suppose that using e-mail is a sign of computer literacy. 
Accordingly, George W. Bush is computer literate, though he hasn't
been able to send e-mails during his presidency:

'The New York Times has learned that, three days before his
inauguration on 20 January of this year, Mr Bush sent an e-mail to a
group of 42 "dear friends".  He told them that he had been informed by
his lawyers that any e-mails he sent as president could be "subject to
public scrutiny". ...

'Mr Bush, it emerges, was an enthusiastic user of e-mail, writing
short messages, not bothering too much with punctuation, and signing
himself off "gwb".'

"Bush ditches e-mail," by BBC News Online's Bernard Gabony (19 March, 2001)

I believe that this information answers your question.  Please let me
know if you need clarification.

P.S.: It appears that President Bush also knows how to use an iPod.
