No you are not a Luddite. I much prefer the small utility that you can elect to have active that does the chattering Xara seems to like so much. There is a Registry option to stop Xara accessing the On-line Content Catalogue and relying on what you have downloaded.
I have not tried it but I would like that as a default and if I want the OCC, then and only then, make a connection.
