Feeling Happy
Technology
Many times I have thought I would have liked to have been in this Navy!
Today's sorry story!
This sucker went off line a record number of times last night. It was also so slow I about called up to the big house and asked Shirl to come down and ‘lay hands (or hammer) on it’.
It is amazing how we expect this ‘new technology’ to just work perfect. Some of us punching these keys can remember just trying to make a call out on a ‘three party’ phone line was a chore. Then it was such a relief to get the operator and hear, “Number please?“ Now we take it for granted that we can hit a few keys, click a ‘mouse’ and send a message to one or a hundred people all over the world. The strange part about it is that over all, most folks use the internet for fun or a hobby. Every day some other source expressing yourself appears on the Net. “Face Book”, “My Space”, “You Tube” and hundreds of Blog sights.
I for one am not crazy about the film-type clips because our system cannot handle them smoothly nor fast. I stick to readable material.
So in spite of my getting upset at how slow this is, I can truly appreciate the technology developed by men like Bill Gates which allows us to play and express ourselves. I have years of experience in the electronics technical field, and I still get baffled by the Personal Computer. Wow, answers to MOST of your questions are right at your finger tips.
Thanks for coming this way.

Jack forgive me if I dont take your diet and health tips seriously. I am too fat and out of shape to add to my problems by listening to you! lol would be nice if this stuff were true, so much less painful than dieting and excersizing. lol june

I enjoy my computer so much. I don't have fast access internet, I'm on dial up, a 5 minute clip on U tube takes around an hour to load on my computer so I view very few of them. I was reading one of our local papers online last night and they have an article I think you would enjoy, I don't know how to copy & paste so I hope I type this in right: http://www.hancockclarion.com

This paper only allows you to view a few articles on their site each week but that's better than our main newspaper they got so greedy that now you have to pay to view any of their articles online unless you buy the daily paper. We only subscribe to the weekend paper. Anyway I hope you are able to view the article and enjoy it.
