    Windows is not a high level languages. I could have worded
    that better - big deal, you babies should quit your whining
    instead of going over the same point endlessly.

    Just learn to write what you mean or expect a reaction.

    You guys can do 1990's kind of things on your computers and
    then think you're so special. I ain't impressed or
    intimidated
    - sorry.

    You won't accept that there are things you can't do on a tiny
    screen. That's weird.

    There's a lot of stuff that I can't do on a small screen.

    Thank you. That's all.


    There's a lot of things that old farts can't do. You can whine
    about things all day long but the kids don't care about old people constantly bitching about how things are. It's their world now,
    not yours.




    Their time will come too.

    And then they will agonize over only having devices to care-bond
    with.



    Perhaps - that's only natural. Maybe computers with large keyboards
    will be back in fashion in the next 50 years.

    My guess is that people
    will be wearing their computers in their ears or on eyewear by then.

    We just lost a scientist to China who promises to implant brain chips
    through their entire military.

    That can't end well for anyone...

    I remember our first cell phone. That was so exciting. It was kind of
    big and had a huge battery. It came in a bag and the receiver had a
    coil cord on it. It all started out so innocently.

    Motorola made some outstanding products back then. Mostly it was for businesses
    and industrial use. Oddly enough, I'm now using a Motorola phone. It's a pretty good phone and it was dirt cheap. Also, they keep their software upgrades to a minimum. I've become tired of phones that keep on adding new features. I'm all featured out.

    This is a Rubicon of feature fatigue that has now been crossed -
