When I took computers in High School we had punch cards and vacuum tubes! Plus, we had to walk 15 miles to and from school...up hill, both ways!

  When I was in school, we had to do everything on paper. Computers was something you only saw in space movies. I bought a laptop, and all I know how to do with it is check e-mails, and watch movies with computers in them!!

Did you have to put cardboard in your shoes because of holes too?

Shoes? I grew up in Kentucky. We didn't have that type of "modern technology" back then.

Nasa was the only place that had computers when I was in school... and my calculater is faster than what they had.... and I think I still have your mac, Ida... a IIC

the IIc was allright, but I liked the Tandy versions,,,,,I had the CoCo line of computers,,,,,I had the CoCoI, CoCoII and, the CoCoIII which had the upgrade package that maxed out the board with 640K of RAM, a dual 5 1/4" floppy drive, and I found an old 20" TV to hook it up to for video,,,,,I was the coolest kid programming BASIC that I knew ;-)

maybe the school's software notices the popular proxy server addresses and does that intentionally.

I love changing the background.  We dont have the ability to left click on the desktop, or have any icons.  Everyone asks "Dude how did you changing the background?" :Approve.gif

You guys sure have a way of making one feel old. In MY day computers were not even on the drawing board - in school we had to actually use books and the only thing we got chided for was looking up the girls skirts, which by the way, still seems preferable to doing what I'm doing at the moment .....
