Those rose colored glasses sure make the past look good. I started working in the telephone industry in 1983 and the party lines and old step by step switching systems were a nightmare to maintain. I was a central office tech and had the misfortune to keep two of the last step by step switches running in the state of WI (for an independent telco) I was fortunate enough to get my 30 years with the company and retired in 2013. No way would I want to go back to operators and 4 dollars a minute LD calls. We might as well go back to the Stone Age and live in caves, no roads,no electricity, no clean running water...yup them be the good old days....
PS I also would not have my home business
It may have been, but, I like it better now.Heck, I wouldn't have a Guzzi if not for the internet.PS I also would not have my home business
I love the amount of information that I can reach in seconds. 90% of my masters thesis was spent in research that could have been done in hours these days. Or, like finding out what is wrong with my Guzzi when it has stopped in the middle of nowhere.
I'd forgotten how they used to make things back when stuff was supposed to actually work and last, and not just be the latest widget or gewgaw.
Men who used to be strong and self-reliant clutching their GPS to their chest like my 2-year-old granddaughter clutching her blanket, and cooing "Oh, I NEVER consider going on a trip anymore without my GPS. I just don't know WHAT I'd do".
Me too. But too often, I see the signs of "addiction". Men who used to be strong and self-reliant clutching their GPS to their chest like my 2-year-old granddaughter clutching her blanket, and cooing "Oh, I NEVER consider going on a trip anymore without my GPS. I just don't know WHAT I'd do". Or people who ask how I recharge my cell phone on a long trip, and I tell them I don't have one. They recoil back like they just saw a cobra ready to strike, as if I said I were traveling to Ramadi to preach a series of sermons on Paul. They can't believe it.I need to make sure I haven't caught it somehow. I think I'll try a little experiment.Interesting, Lannis, as 1 of the few times I use my cell ph. is on road trips. Otherwise, like you, I use the internet as you do, mostly for e-mail, MC interest, bills. Don't have/need a GPS either. Have map/holder for that. No computer messaging for me(don't even know what you call it.).
LOL, I used to keep an old IBM keyboard. They made them specifically for people like me who were used to typing on an IBM Selectric. Solid, heavy duty, and distinct CLICK. I gave it up when I moved to laptops.
Jim,I guess I should go back down to the surplus place here in town. They have stacks and stacks of old keyboards. Although probably most are Zenith (the original govt PC contract).
