winterbadgerSitting here doing settlement on my mum's house long distance with a PC and a scanner...
In the meantime I've been browsing (shallowly) the iTunes store for things to put on my iPod touch.
And found a *free* app that contains all the works of William Shakespeare. Plays. Poems. Sonnets. Everything. In a flash, sent over the tubes and condensers of Teh Intrawebz to this little thing that fits in my pocket.
Young people, please remember in your amusement at my astonishment that I had been out of college and in the job market for at least ten years before anyone (outside DARPA) had email or websites. I used to play Star Trek text-based games on the computer when I was a teenager, but only because my brother in law at the time had access to the Yale University mainframes.
I feel very, very old. And I'm only 45.

Date: 2009-07-10 06:31 pm (UTC)In high school, we had access to mainframes at West Chester State University. Right after I graduated from university, though, one of my best friends and off-and-on housemate was working at NCAR; she used the Vax system there and the Cray as well. We could access all of that at her house, which was fun (Moria in 1983 was so advanced ;), but we also used it to for SCA reports and grad school work.
