That would be incredibly boring, David. Do you like to watch grass grow? Whistling Rolling on the floor laughing

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.

Wayyyy OT

:blinking: Rolling on the floor laughing I forgot the smileys.

If you want you can ignore me. hehe

Back in the very early days of the internet (yeah - I go back to ARPA) one of the very first web cams was a cam trained on a sandwich. Seriously. It took like 15 or 20 days for it to mold. nodding Old timer here. Heck - I helped as an Alpha tester for VOIP. Can you say CRASH!! Rolling my eyes.

My first computers were based on DOS and I had to have my dental practice programs written just for me. There were none available. Talk about difficult times. This was in the late 70's or early 80's (so long ago I don't really remember when Sighing! ). There was no such thing as the world-wide web. Even with Windows (I have never used Apple), I still don't understand how these things work. Sticking tongue out

Haha. I wanted to buy an Imsai or an Altair and my then wife refused so I got rid of her. Big Grin

My first PC did not have an OS nor disk drives - TRS-80 Model 1 purchased in 1980 - before IBM PC came out. Storage was on cassettes. Apps were written in Basic cayuse there were no apps then. Still have it BTW. Green Grin!

I also still have MS - DOS vers 1.01 (1.0 was not released) and Windows version 1.0 disks. Too bad I tossed the documentation when I moved from Boston. Sigh.

And yeah - I predate the WWW as well. Remember when it first popped on the scene. I said HS!!!!!! Big thing in those days was Usenet. In the early days I was an Internet Abuse Administrator. And I was an early member of BCS - Bandwidth Conservation Society. Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

And yes, I understand about apps written for a specific use cause there was no such thing as ready to use programs. I used to write a lot of code - mostly in one of the original PC database programs - dBase II. Millions of lines of code. Big $$$
