Actually, I thought that was true (that old people don't generally know how to use email) but it's actually not. For his demographic McCain is actually highly unusual (or so I've read). Of course, that's including the fact that he's a male and white.
Also, I thought it was unimportant until someone pointed out to me the fact that the internet is likely to be a subject for many, many laws over the next several decades. It'd be nice if the next president was more informed about the medium than our last president. McCain, however, is less educated about the internet than Bush who at least knows how to use "the google."
I'm not saying it isn't kind of a weak attack. But it's actually more relevant than I initially thought it was.
