My hubby's not the computer guy in our house, either - that'd be me -
'ceptin' I'm Mac, not PC (though I'm usin' one now). Since I do graphics for
a livin', I've always been a Mac Geek.
I couldn't nigh tell you how to open a Microsoft app, but I can tell you how
to use any graphics proggie or how to practically build a Mac from scratch!
;)
Anywho, I'm glad you got it sorted!! Sure is a nicer place with you in it!
:)
Hugs!

thanks for the moral support, Connie.
i dont think my dh knows how to turn the puter on or off.
he doesnt like these machines at all. not one bit.
i dont like the thot at all of leaving RCTQ or cyberspace.
theres just so much here to learn.
cheers,

Same here ... every time that I think I'm done and I've seen all I can see
for now, I remember something else!! 'Course, here recently, I've not been
able to get on at all 'cause of hubby's injury/recovery ... so I'm sufferin'
from withdrawal!!! :)
My hubby's nickname 'round the office is "The Unabomer" because he HATES
technology ('ceptin' for the tv and cable - and the odd SCUBA gadget) ...
and what does he do for a livin'? Helps develop/test new technology for the
Navy!! LOL!!
Meanwhile, I'm a techno-geek - I LOVE technology - the more useless and
ridiculous the better (not to buy, necessarily, but to marvel at! maybe
covet!!).
How 'bout you? Love it or leave it? :)
Hugs!!
Connie :)

our first puter bought way back in '86, iirc was cuz i
wanted one.
we got a second hand C64.
i got books from the library full of programs for it.
stayed up til all hours typing those in.
that puter was cool cuz you'd run the program and when it
hit a 'typo/syntax error' it would tell ya and which line
was wrong so was easy to find, correct and run again. made
fix'n those typos real easy.
didnt much care for the tape recorder ya had to use for
keeping programs on tho.
i figured out a fair big of code but never took it any
further.
i had little kids then and just wasnt the time to study it
on my own and no time to attend courses either.
then eventually the puters got fancier and i didnt really
need to know the code.
it was fun then tho. now i'm on puter #5 i think, not sure.
i keep'em for a long time, upgrading some of the hardware
occasionally.
i love my toy!!
cheers,
jeanne

OMG!! That was our first computer, too!! My Dad and I used to compete on
it - to see who do/program the coolest stuff!
I usually won, though - not 'cause I'm smarter or better at it or anything -
I was in 10th grade on Summer break and could play on it all day and he had
to work all day! ;)

Yeah, that was a pain - and soooooooo slow (at least to me it was - but
then, I was borderline hyperactive!). Did you have games? We had Q-Bert and
a couple of those mind games (you're walking in a dark forest ... and you
come to a door ... what do you do? kind of thing).
Hey, hey, hey ... Go To Line 15! :) Remember?! :)

Yeah, same here ... my Dad had hoped (I think) that I would become a
programmer - back in the days where bein' one was REALLY rare. But I ended
up following in HIS footsteps! :)

I'm on ... computer 7? Something like that ... My Mac is about 10 years old
and is my baby ... I keep upgradin' it and it keeps outshinin' nearly
anything else I've ever owned. As long as my baby keeps on keepin' on, I
probably won't move up to the Intels (though in my naughtiest moments, I
WANT to SO badly!!).
If you buy a good computer, you can durn nigh upgrade'em endlessly. It
probably costs much more in the end, but to me, bein' able to say "Hey, I
did that" is worth it! :)

Damn, but you're bringin' back some wonderful memories ... I really do
appreciate it. :)
Hugs!!
