That would suck..

Suck may not a strong enough word. I remember that I had backed up my work dor the day. It was back when there were CD's that could handle all the data. It reminds me of the day I had to travel with a bunch of manuals and a suit case sized computer with a very small screen.

They will bend to my will.


Or they will break . . . .

Scary....

Hahaha

Morning, all. Ah, depression my old friend, let us go and have coffee and chat, shall we?

That sounds awful.... i work on 3 screens and if I have to work on less ...I am NOT happy

It goes back 40 years or so. I was a control system engineer and we were transitioning to small industrial compupers called "PCs" which stood for Programable Controllers. Then IBM came along with the Personal Computer and the industrial PC was changed to PLC which stood for Programmable Logic Controller. Time marches on!

And flat screens did not exist.

I can relate as after my divorce I met the love of my life. After a wonderful 9 years of marriage, cancer took her life. That life’s lemon was very bitter. But it brought me even closer to my children and grandchildren. And eventually found a new life partner. We are happy together and both of us are engaged grandparents.

Finding the lemonade was hard but with determination one can make it.

Cancer sucks!

Exactly like that with two floppy drives. I am reminded that about that time hard drives became available and I was able to get a 30 M drive on a card. I think it was over a hundred bucks for the drive.

HumpDay Hello! Your work week is half over…mine is just beginning! Three airline changes and one delay already. Gotta love the airlines. Easy day though, other than the travel, and end up out yonder in the Midwest. Gonna grab some good BBQ tonight or so goes the best laid plans.

My spring pix have had the intended result. I killed two mosquitoes in the garage yesterday . Seriously? One was as big as a B52…oh well…hazards of living down south. Everyone thaw out and get out and get some sun. Wx Chan says warm weather rest of the week!

Lol, back when a hundred bucks was a lot of money.

Nice!!!
My Lovely Wife sent me a video yesterday, as She was enjoying a warm day, reading a book, enjoying a Kentucky Barrel Vanilla Cream Ale on the patio...
One more week and I'll be right there with Her!

LMAO! I remember, as a kid, going grocery shopping with mom and filling up a '57 Chevy Station Wagon with 2 weeks worth of groceries for 6... for a hundred bucks.

Similar memories......And now I don't feel like I can even walk through a grocery store for under a hundred

Exactly!
Nowadays, you carry out a few plastic bags of food for a hundred bucks... back then, you pushed out 2 or 3 shopping carts!

 

[BlackSatinKnight]

Morning all. Hope everyone had a good night and that you have a great day.

 

[Khadaji2002]

True enough. Of course back then my dad was getting paid around $10/hour which was good money. Today I'm earning $17/hr and that's the low end of the scale for what I do.
