Someone who is 20 will probably ask you (and me) if we also used chipped flint to hunt mastodons.In the late 1980's I helped to disassemble some old Wang computers and remove them from an office. They had GIANT 12" floppy drives and also tape drives -- tons of tape drives. These days nobody under 30 has heard of a Wang computer. The 12" floppy drives were obviously high tech in their day. Soon after there were 6" floppies followed by the 3.5" floppies in hard cases. Then there were ZIP drives, but ZIP drives didn't last long, because somebody figured out how to make CD's rewritable. I lived during a time when game graphics went through many stages. 3 color graphics. 16 color graphics. 256 color graphics. 16 million color graphics. 32 million color graphics. These technologies became available to the middle class over a period of only 10 years, and for the last 30 years there have been new video cards and new technologies available not just yearly but multiple times per year. I remember the first Voodoo video card, designed to work in tandom with an optional extra Voodoo. I had a friend who bought 2 of them and was able to run Quake at high speed. It was an amazing video game, a seriously awesome upgrade from games such as DOOM. I experienced Netscape in a community college library and didn't know what do to with it. It was before Google, and it was before Yahoo. I was there, but it was meaningless.
And of course you are not going to do housework. Or do you think going to Menards is housework?
Its starting to feel that way.Someone who is 20 will probably ask you (and me) if we also used chipped flint to hunt mastodons.
Well, didn't YOU?Someone who is 20 will probably ask you (and me) if we also used chipped flint to hunt mastodons.
We hunted flying ticks, and you wouldn't believe how big they were.Well, didn't YOU?
Rubber Trees: Can you trust them? No. No you cannot.
Going to Menards is mostly museum volunteer work.And of course you are not going to do housework. Or do you think going to Menards is housework?
We don't have a Menards, but we do have some family named shops mainly owing to the rustic nature of our surroundings by which means some insubordinate hardware stores have survived the onslaught of Heckinger's and its copycats: Lowes and Home Depot. Heckinger's was killed by shrinkage. Home Depot is somehow surviving despite blundering and reckless management which didn't even encrypt its customer credit cards until it got sued. Lowes still trundles along and is the crowd favorite to eventually run Home Depot out of business, but honestly, neither of them is truly a hardware store. Obama help us if there is a war and people need to buy anything useful such as a way to make our own screws.Going to Menards is mostly museum volunteer work.
Cold water will do that to a guy.Heckinger's was killed by shrinkage.
Obama knows nothing of things technical or practical.Obama help us if there is a war and people need to buy anything useful such as a way to make our own screws.
