Welcome to 19whenever.

Crazy how far tech has come in such a relatively short time... Kinda excited to see what the next 20+ years will bring... Assuming the human race survives that long:shots:

Yep. It's racing along quickly. :yesnod:

Which is why in '85 I quite electronics after 20+ years employment, always more and more for less and less, without the .gov supporting MSFT would be a history footnote.....
should have bought stock in them back when, screw all the rest of the .com crapola....from the 90's....

MUCH happier keeping my own schedule as a home re-modeler anyway.....

I still have some un-opened boxes of Quattro Pro, Word Perfect, and dBase. I loved DOS. It was so simple back then.

Huh?

I think it'd be more interesting to see what they could/would/should have done if they weren't under the court orders from '99 which just recently expired.

Am I the only one who has to read and re-read Gene's posts to get the gist of what he is saying?

Perhaps it's just me and my Catholic upbringing. I was too busy dodging randy priests to pay attention in school. :D

If he types more than one run on sentence, I don't bother reading it. :D

I gave up a while ago. When I'm scrolling thru posts and I find one of his, I just keep scrolling.

He hardly ever says anything worth stumbling through all of his mumbo jumbo to make it worth the effort.

Our Canadian friends can't listen to it on their radios. Banned there.
