    WOW! That was exciting! Not as exciting as trying to shove warm butter up a wildcats' *ss, none the less it was exciting.
    Now I will go watch some paint dry.
    The 95 video with Matt and Jennifer was right up there on the Hallmark Hall of Fame favorites.
    These writers must have the cerebral propensity of a tin can.

    That was as much fun as watching grass grow.

    If that was the early years it makes you wonder how MS managed to sell sooooo much.

    When you review most adverts from say 10yrs + back they would make you cringe today, but in their day they where cutting edge, similar to todays adverts making you cringle in say 2019!

    386s where superb PCs in their day, just like films at the movies have changed, Fritz Langs Metropolis was what we would today think the likes of latest Star Trek movie is to special effects, must take the era they are created in and think of the public perception of technology at that point over what is available today, or childresn children will laugh and joke about the iPhone in the future.


    *as a sidebar I trained as a graphic designer at art school so advertising was my area before industrial photography and now ophthalmology.

    Frighteningly enough - I still use an Acer, 386 math coprocessor for 3 programs that I can get things out of that have gone downhill with "improvement". I also started out in graphic arts while in high school. The place that was training me made sure I did it all….setting type to the latest offset in the mid 70s. I went on to other things.
    Oddly enough you started in graphic arts and ended up in ophthalmology. Always with the eyes..what you see OR how you see it .
    Your comment about our childrens’ children laughing at the iphone. I do that now! I carry a tracphone as a back up since the iphone does not fare well in the northern territories of Michigan.
    Come to think of it Future Shock – isn’t a shock, more of bore. Sorry for rambling on....
    For them that don’t believe…..ignore this next statment
    Prayer For Protection
    The Light of God surrounds me;
    The Love of God enfolds me;
    The Power of God protects me;
    The Presence of God watches over me,
    Whereve I am, God is !
