but it made a DARN GOOD paper weight!

Oh, I could learn from you.... My husband is HIGHLY suspicious of me at this point. As for my boss? I called out sick Wed. afternoon. Now I can't POSSIBLY call out or stay home for personal reasons tomorrow! What the HELL was I thinking?

I have always been a techno geek, I admit. Or at least I "thought" I was a techno geek. I was one of the first civilians to own a PC, one of the first adopters of the original cell phones that looked and weighed more like a brick then a candy bar. But I always resisted Apple. My father on the...

Did you take note that Sony has just decided to stop making the 3.5" floppy? Wow, how old are we? Our children and especially our grand children will never know a world without personal computers. Really powerful, really small, iPhone sized or iPad like computers. WOW.
