Reminising
I remember back in the late 70's I had an interest in computers. I had taken several programming languages which, of course, are no longer in use today. I had a part time work study job as a computer operater. At the University of Southern Maine which back then was called something different, all the computers in the University of Maine system were tied together by phone lines. There was no such thing as broadband back then. The CPU was in one place and the input and output devices were at each of the campuses across the state.
This was also before cell phones. One cool thing was I could send text messages, from my keyboard, to any of the other campuses!
and I thought, "Wouldn't it be nice if we could do this all over the world! Wouldn't it be nice if we could tie all computers together outside the U Maine system!
The truth is, I came up with the original idea for the internet Lol!
I just remembered, I am all out of toilet paper,

Bet your area is beautiful right now. When you are prepared, a good snow storm really can be a fun experience. I always like to share cookies and other baked things with neighbors!
Hope you and your dog are just great.
Heck it was you and not Al Gore?
Blizzard coming and you don\'t get TP? Really?
Nancy yea I know, life was alot easier. Coreen we had a second storm after the first with another 5 inches of snow. I cleaned it up this morning. Joyce Al Gore helped pass the legislation that made the internet possible but thats it. KR it was just something I overlooked like gas for the snowblower lol I am always forgetting.
