    Stone has a least one other thread he likes to keep up with when he's here. He'll be back. :thumb:
    One?!? Try 5 or 6 :lol:

    You didn't run me off :) I'm just reading along....

    I will say that one of the smartest tech guys I know is gay.
    Trevor is certainly a smart one, it's so funny cause he's a computer tech but I've taught him a thing or two about posting picture's and stuff :laugh: All learned right here on ECF of all things :lol:

    Oh good grief I'm tired! :facepalm:

    Yup, it's not closed to anyone. Race, gender, creed... anyone can get really good at it. I actually wish I knew more about Servers and that kind of Networking. I just don't want it bad enough to put the time into it. And all I really know is computers. There's so much more out there now, with smart phones, iPads, Kindle readers, and all of that.

    There's a first time for everything. ECF was my first forum, and I really knew nothing. I figured some of it out by myself, intuitively, but the first OP of the Beach showed me a lot about posting pictures and videos, and some other things. Everyone here is so helpful. It's really a great forum. :)

    The more complex all of this gets, the less I know for sure. I used to know much more about many tech things than I do now....I remember running machines with DOS. Heck, I remember when a modem had two round cups for a telephone receiver... :lol:

    No, that's a TTY :)
    CapTel let's the deaf person speak for themselves (VO) while an operator types what you say back to us for us to read :)

    So you can speak OK, but have trouble hearing now. If you can speak to a CapTel operator, I bet I could understand you just fine. :)

    I speak normally hon, maybe a little too loudly sometimes if I don't watch myself :blush:

    I was 30 before things really started to go bad for me.

    And I don't speak to the operator, I speak to you ;)

    I remember DOS, too. Those commands still work today, or at least most of them still do.

    There was a computer system with a telephone receiver modem at a job I had. The modems in the digital language interpreter computers we designed and built had an internal analog card on each end of the two comm channels, so I really thought that one looked weird. It was, of course, a much older computer, but it still worked.

    When I was in elementary school, we used computer terminals with those modems...they had a roll of yellow paper that printed your session with the computer :lol:

    Hi Lisa! :)
