I can't remember dad doing much more than that with it either.<br /><br />Anymore I can't hardly imagine what I would do without a computer, cell phone and iPod.Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09007265632011746190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-84865560160708624342010-04-08T11:40:47.182-05:002010-04-08T11:40:47.182-05:00People, well meaning they may be, keep telling me ...People, well meaning they may be, keep telling me how to upgrade my technology. I find as long as you treat technology as a tool and keep it simple you get more done. I am in a minority and i am certain i don't know what i am talking about. <br />But I post one photo essay every day and have done for three years straight. Simplicity works for me and venting through pictures is better than venting in a lot of other ways.Conchscooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016331487463993200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-67943601125310616052010-04-07T17:10:07.900-05:002010-04-07T17:10:07.900-05:00What a nice stroll down memory lane!

Paid a lot for those machine back then. Look where we are now...<br /><br />Are there really tax returns that can require handling 400 pages! Bless you!

"Don't drop your stack" the instructor warned us. He was right! Next was the installation of 12 Apple IIC computers in the library computer lab. I wrote a program to plot distance and elevations of survey data. My framework exceeded the computers capacity. I think my wrist watch has more computing power than those machines did.<br /><br />Now I work on Mac's and wonder if 1.5 TB of storage and 16 GB of RAM is enough.<br /><br />As for cameras, I always carry a point and shoot when I ride.

I though my head would explode. Luckily that's not how I make a living. <br /><br />I started computing (playing games) with a Commodore 64, it had a 5 1/4 floppy drive that must have weighed 20 pounds. My next was a Apple Macintosh LC II with a whopping 8mb of ram and a whole 512mb of hard drive. I wish I still had them both. I think the were sold at garage sales long before eBay or Craigslist.<br /><br />GAW682202https://www.blogger.com/profile/12028633407610201571noreply@blogger.com
