Glasses for reading what else did you think I meant

I was Here even before ..........St Claire Kilby's invention - the integrated circuit or microchip; the first integrated circuit was produced in September 1958

Guess, we have all said things we would like to forget 1949 "Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons.", Popular Mechanics, forecasting the relentless march of science. 1957 "I have travelled the length and breadth of this country and talked with the best people, and I can assure you that data processing is a fad that won't last out the year." The editor in charge of business books for Prentice Hall. 1968 "But what ... is it good for?" Engineer at the Advanced Computing Systems Division of IBM commenting on the microchip. 1977 "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp.. 1991 - June MS-DOS 5.0, PC-DOS 5.0 In order to promote OS/2 Bill Gates took every opportunity after its release to say 'DOS is dead', however the development of DOS 5.0 lead to the permanent dropping of OS/2 development. some interesting computer history on http://trillian.randomstuff.org.uk/~stephen//history/timeline.html

Hi Tommie maybe it is a age thing , I have noticed things shrinking also looks as normal to me , sorry I dont see the adds (Maxthon )

, Sparticus, that word has a diferent meaning in the uk No , I dont live of imoral earnings , mind you it might better than working for a living or do you mean the party with judges and Lawyers Hey, I know which side my bread is buttered ( UK saying ) but riddle me this,. why if you drop a slice of buttered bread ,it allways lands butter side down ? , bit like the story of my life

, yeah, not many 's in the UK , had to laugh at the dinner party, I was seated next to a Magistrate and on the other side a lawyer , The judge wanted the info on drugs , as I said I have only met you guys on motoring matter's the lawyer butted in saying he could have got me off those charges I left them arguing the points of law, and partied with their wives it turned out ok, and good for business ,

LOL , you must have known something I didn't I overslept a bit ( a lot ) and had a classic car in the workshop to remove the old underseal and apply new rustproofing a messy job, come 5pm I resembled Al Jolson doing mammy , I needed to eat , quick TV dinner , the phone rang , I was due at a dinner party , where are you ? , get hear fast , I never got the posted invite , 1 shower + ! bath + 1 bottle of shampoo + bleach + 15 miles across London , I got there , , nearly fell asleep in the soup ,got back home at 3am ,the hostess said I looked tired , and I should take more care of myself , no none of the guest are TMN members , so no sympathy there You have a spare HD ! why are you not using it ? I once re-Formated "C" and lost partition "D" in the process , I feel more secure with the inportant stuff saved on the second HD, and to RW CD, guess I am a belt and braces type of guy

Mr.Spam King , around 12 posts per day , I am going to google for a teach yourself speed typing program, is he is on steroids ? , maybe TMN should introduce random drug testing, oh on second thoughts , we would never make the 40K membership if we did that :lol: I just noticed I have gone up from TMN fiend friend to EXPERT hope nobody puts me to the test
