Wow... you must have OLD computes if you need Charles Babbage...Gen Z folk would be clueless... its not small enough

ENIAC

A friend of mines father went to MIT in the 50s and he built a computer that was in thier basement.... it was as tall as ENIAC but about half the width. This was 1980, and he said that the average calculator was more powerful at that time (1980)

I was thinking more of the people from the 60's and 70's and the computer empires that sprang from them in the software and hardware businesses.

Can you imagine Gen Z wondering around staring at one of those? They would have to form actual social networks just to carry them.

I miss the fact that when I was a teen, internet was optional. Fell into the entertainment category with movies.

So, I've come up with an idea for my novel.

The title will be Bachelor, Superhero, Father. He's a bachelor, but has two teenage kids (boy and girl) that he is raising while trying to maintain a career as a mild-mannered S.W.A.T team leader and using his powers in his off time to save mankind. He divides his time between family, work and his hobby while working with people at his church helping them solve their problems. His favorite thing in life is spending time with his family and saving those in need from disaster and evil. He loves puppies and flowers. Golly gee, he is just the best.

Did I mention there is an arch nemesis? Anyway, there is. He's an indigent, itinerate, accountant, sociopathic, serial killer that stalks the night for victims he kills in the most grisly and gratuitous manner in order to harvest their toes for his collection. He likes to dress the bodies up after he is done and leave them staged in mock reference to 1950's romance comic books.

I'm thinking pop up book.

Wait...he DOESN'T Volunteer at the homeless shelter..... what a self center egotistical jerk the hero is

Oh you mean my kind....sorry... I hate computers...maybe @sun rise can help you...he still likes computers

The corp highered a bunch of 20 something folks for their help desk.... You'd be surprised, or maybe not, ant how confused they can get with old tech... if it isn't VDI and they can't remote to it, to fix it and have to actually go to a real computer.... well... they can be like a deer in the headlights

I'm back from my foray to find sustenance. Yogurt. Because, like you, my stomach betrays me with fire.

He uses one of the S.W.A.T. armored personnel vehicles in a program he likes to call Snacks on Tracks.

Back in the day, we used to build mnemonic memory circuits using stone knives and bearskins - barefoot in the snow.
