all clean now :)
well... most of the time anyway.;)
dang... this is why I moved out... work work work...
you are a bunch of lovable old farts, but I really think you might be enjoying this spanking a bit too much. :D
No worries my friends... I feel the love. It's not like I am fresh out of the box either... I am over 30 now. I guess I am sort of between worlds... I had a Sony Walkman when I was a kid, now the kids don't know what those were. I remember the time when cell phones were the size of a small loaf of bread... and had antennas... and as a matter of fact I had a pager first... remember the early pagers that just showed you the number of the person calling you? It was a big day when we got the newfangled text pagers and I was 16 before I got my first cell phone. I remember how mad my mom was about that too. My first computer ran DOS 3.2 and was a screamer... it was a 286 running at 14mhz. I remember saying that I would never use a mouse or windows. My dad (who is closer to most of your ages in his 50's) kept up though, and moved me along as the computers upgraded. I had a 386, a Pentium... and I did eventually move to windows and a mouse. Modems went from 300baud to 1200 to 5600... and we suffered with the Millenium operating system together. I remember the VHS/Beta debacle and then saw it become moot as we moved to CDs. And I remember moving from dial up BBS systems to watching the birth of the internet. I remember a time before microwaves. We are not so different, you and I. We have all seen incredible changes in the world around us, and more is on the way. Today I just witnessed the death of the school book. There was a report on the news of a school district who has gone to using Kindles for every student instead of having textbooks. Just as it was in your day my dear ancient ones, these times, they are a-changing. It is a brave new world, and we are all here learning together. Old and young alike, will not recognize this world in another generation, just as it ever was.
Peace my friends... we are all in this together and having fun! :thumbsup:
