It is but I need a new one ... my screen is so messed up it's hard to read
You're not supposed to use White-Out on the screen to make corrections.
It's too scratchy to get it off for the next use!

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
Hi Lisa!
A roll of paper? I've never seen that! -did use the folded continuous stack of mega-size green-bar paper on a dot-matrix printer. I do remember the original Apple II. *memories....misty water-colored memories.......*

Oh looky!! Here's the new one ... I want!!
Second from the top. Welcome to Arkansas Relay!
You had computer's in elementary school?
Man I'm getting old!!
We didn't even have them in high school
Computers are everywhere now! The county where my Grandson goes to school now gives an I-pad to every student fifth grade and above. All of their textbooks and materials are contained on the i-pads.
Evening everyone! Just stopping in for a few...

I saw my first one when I was about 30. That was in about 1985.
That looks nice, Dale; nice big screen.
At first I thought there was some kind of Arkansas Olympics or something.
Hi, Lurch! We've not met but I've read some of your posts. Nice to meet you.
If you're a good girl, maybe Santa will bring you one.
Might as well, I guess. Kids are such naturals with computers anyway.
Hi Lurch
We had computer labs by the time I was in middle school.

We had computer labs by the time I was in middle school.I had to buy an IBM "portable" (40 or so pounds) in 1985. It had a tiny screen with an amber display and dual 5 1/4" floppy drives

I remember when Compaq released the first laptop. Or what was touted as the first laptop. Dual 5 1/4" floppy drives. Wow, you were really Up Town.
Evening Lisa, nice to meet ya!!
Sorry for any delays in answering, I have a few screens going and bounce back and forth!

Hi again Lurch
We promise not to ask you to work this time
1985? ........ wait .......... you're older than me ... right?
You should have been way past 30 That looks nice, Dale; nice big screen.
At first I thought there was some kind of Arkansas Olympics or something.
It's much nicer looking than what I have at the moment
Ugh, I need to file some paper's for thatIf you're a good girl, maybe Santa will bring you one.

I was just going to say.... anyone remember the Compaq that also weighed about 40 lbs where you would set it down, unlatch one end that tipped out which was the keyboard? The screen was at that end, inside and was probably about 8" on the diagonal at most.
That's precisely the type of "portable" I had to buy. It was required for my college classes.
My first was an Apple IIe. Green and white screen, no hard drive, 5 1/4" floppy disk, dot matrix printer. Costs a future and came with no software at all!!!
Exactly! My brother used one in college too. It seemed to weigh a ton. I thought it was incredibly cool at the time.
1985? ........ wait .......... you're older than me ... right?
I said I saw my first one at age 30. I'm not sure when the first real DOS computer came out. We were using the Intel 8085 processor in the computer systems we designed and built. These were Gov't projects. Ours was to translate one computer language to another, so a Missile Launch Command, Communications, and Control site could talk to the Missile site. Both used different computer languages natively. That job was from '82 to '86.
I'd tell you again how old I am, but you would say you're 28, so never mind.

I know how old you are, do you know how old you are?

Still bickering like siblings, I see.
I've got a ring sitting in pickling solution, need to go check it. BBIAW.
