[quote:Arnie:MV8yMzkxMDE5Xzc2OTEwMjE0X0M1NkM0MjQ=] [quote:joinca:MV8yMzkxMDE5Xzc2OTA5ODg5X0VFREFFMDND] [quote:KickinIt:MV8yMzkxMDE5Xzc2OTA5NTgwXzlGREVDQkNC] [quote:Arnie:MV8yMzkxMDE5Xzc2OTA3NzAxX0MzNUJEMjA4] Yes, so much change in our lives. I started typing on one of those old black typewriters you see in antique stores or flea markets now and then. In college I had a portable typewriter, a bit easier to type on. Then came the IBM electric with the ball fonts that were interchangeable. Wow. My kids went to college with the first of the word processors, then the big computers, then everything just went exponential with the refinements. Now I cannot keep up, took me forever to get off of Windows XP, but finally couple years ago went to Windows 7, and refuse to go further with that. Remember, when I was a child we still used out houses, chopped wood for wood stoves, and hand pumped water from the ground. A few people here and there would have a radio, so many would gather around their radio for the news and the drama story series. Now they are talking about hooking up people's brains to the computers so everyone is connected into one giant global brain or something. I don't want to be around for that, it's just plain stupid, and unnecessary. GOOD MORNING ALL, AND HAVE A WONDERFUL SATURDAY :olcof: :segt: [/quote] You've seen and experienced a lot in your lifetime, it's quite amazing. Don't feel old, because I'm in the same computer boat as you! Finally gave up my XP and then purposely got Windows 7 because that was when 8 had just been rolled out and everyone was complaining about it. Still use 7 and will continue to do so until this computer dies. Arnie, here's your black typewriter: :kermittype: [/quote] This all sounds way to familiar to me as well. In JC one of the first courses that I had to take for computer science was understanding how to use push cables to program a card boards for a sorting machine. The instructor said that this was all out of date when she was instructing the class. Then on to a fortran class with punch cards that you turned in each day and got the results the next morning if your program ran or nulled out. And to windows started with DOS 1 here and on to DOS 2.2 then on to win95, win98, winME and on and on. I have just updated most friends and my computers to windows 10 while you can for free. You can get the install from microsoft and do an upgrade from within windows 7 and there you have it. Ahhh such memories of college and the years at work. What fun it has been. [/quote] In 1963 I worked for some grad sociologist in college helping them with their research...we had to pencil in the cards when questionnaires came in,,then send them out to some company who ran the cards through a huge machine to get the results. About 1987 my son in high school got a used IBM (256 if I remember)...he would put stock market things into it each day, and it would grind away all night in the basement before it added to his previous stuff. Interestingly, he said this was "artificial intelligence". Anyway, you have all earned a rest from my ramblings,,, best get to some chores before the day flies away... :highfive dog: [/quote]

I accidentally deleted the OP of this thread during some glitch issues on GLP this morning (10/30/17).
I will be posting some useful links in the next post to make it easier for those posting so you don't have to scroll through a massive OP. :)
I had to delete the first two comments on this thread to do so, but wanted to keep them so I've put them below.

I also would like to mention that I know this thread has MANY pages and that it can be somewhat intimidating to join/chime in on a long standing thread as a new member/AC (I've experienced it when I first joined GLP), but we are a VERY welcoming group to those who newly join us. We are a small family of sorts who are all mostly interested in the same earth-related topics (quakes/solar/volcanoes/weather/etc.) and share info on each of those topics as well as 'off-topic' discussions. We genuinely care for one another here and even when we do not agree with each other, we ALWAYS respect each other.
I truly enjoy when new folks join us here. All that I ask is to show respect. :)
