Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of the new printer and the setting up of same, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently setting up their new MOOlett- Packard printer.

TOD:

First computer used: Something whose name escapes me that ran on 8" floppies.

First "PC" (Personal Computer): Apple IIc running VisiCalc at work.

My own first one: Commodore 128 -- which I still have, with tons of accessories and books, and it still works 27 years later.

First time online: Local BBSs, then QuantumLink (original incarnation of AOL) on the above.

First IBM-clone: HP 386 from Costco with 40MB hard drive. Online with AOL and Prodigy, all still direct dial-up.

First internet: in 1993, through Delphi dial-up. Various other dial-up services till 2002 when Comcast finally got to our street with high speed internet.

Didn't do much in Newsgroups but "worked" as a helper in AOL's Applications Forum for a while and became active in a text-based group on ECHO in NYC (modeled on The WELL in CA) - which I'm still on.

Good Lord-- that was the story of my life!

TOD:

I think I got my first computer in 1986, a basic Mac.

What I really liked was the word processor. Finally, when I was writing something and wanted to make a change, I didn't have to retype the entire page.

I can't recall when I first went on the Internet.

Good morning, all!

I stayed up too late reading the biography of Brit actor Phil Daniels,so when the alarm rang at 6:30, I stayed in bed until 7:30. I will shortly head down to Toyland, proofread the new piano-vocal for "Armful of Trouble," work a bit on my Rodgers & Hart bibliography and come home. On my way back, I'll stop at City Center and pickup my tickets for tonight's performance of FIORELLO.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hsppy Birthday, DR MichaelShayne !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First computer - a Tandy 1500....with BIG 5 1/4 floppy discs and some nice programs....but NOT windows....got it in 1993 and used it for many years to write documents and print posters, etc....a nice dot matrix printer.

THEN....I got an IBM clone in the fall of 1998 so that I could get on the inner web.....and I used Freeweb which was a FREE ISP....dial up....

I used that computer for a few years....Windows 98......then I got a nice Dell computer with Windows XP. THEN I got a computer whose brand I don't remember.....but it had a NASCAR theme.... Then I got a Sony all in one.....and I now have a NEWER Sony All In One that I really like! I am running VISTA....which I don't hate as much as many people do.

I do not know from Newsgroups.

DR MICHAEL BARNUM I watched Dan August during its summer rerun season, and it was okay.

There are more wigs in that picture you posted than there were in DREAMGIRLS.

Thursday morning greetings! I'm supposed to go for a blood test today, but our driveway looks icy. Tonight is movie night with AAUW. We're watching Peace, Love, and Misunderstanding, with Jane Fonda as the hippie grandmother.

Greetings from Toyland! I stopped at the TD Bank to use their Penny Arcade to get rid of a lot if change, and as it seems to be usual, the machine was being cleaned and serviced. I had to put up with a bitchy teller who responded quite nastily to my comment that it was always being serviced between 9:30 and 10:00am. Since the damned bank opens at 7:30am, I do not understand why the stupid machine cannot be serviced first thing in the morning or just before they close at 8:00pm. She wasn't amused and neither was I.

Perhaps they know I hate their stupid Regis (can I smirk more in the next take) Philbin commercials?

I don't understand either why more banks don't have these wonderful machines.

Laura · « **Reply #27 on:** January 31, 2013, 07:26:36 AM »

Our grocery stores have coin machines, Elmore. They keep 10% as their fee, I believe. Unless you take it as an Amazon card. Or something.

Ginny · « **Reply #28 on:** January 31, 2013, 07:30:21 AM »

The guy we've contracted to clear our driveway when it snows just stopped by to pre-treat it with salt. Does he know something we don't?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #29 on:** January 31, 2013, 07:33:29 AM »

I used those a couple of times at supermarkets but always felt like their take was a ripoff.
Now my bank has a great one that's free for account holders, and it's wonderful.
