Heroes & Ancient Treasures

Ancient Treasures indeed, yet it seems like only yesterday when I traded in my Typewriter for a MAC, wow, what an amazing transition, truly an adventure into the unknown. But as you know, I love a good adventure and making the transition became one of the best moves I have ever made.

 

Yes of course, it was scary, I didn’t know where to begin, how do I turn this thing on. What’s a floppy, where does it go, what does it do, how do I use it. It was a whole new experience for me, I had so many questions and there was so much to learn.

 

There was no internet or on-line help where I could simply look up my questions and get instant answers, my only means was to study the manuals, pages and pages of information that appeared to be written in a foreign language. There was talk of RAM, ROM, bits, bytes, software, hardware, analog, digital, apples and windows, the list was endless.

 

Frankly, I love the computer era and feel fortunate to have become involved in its early stage of development and you know what, even after all these years, I still get excited each and every time I push the power-up button on my machine.

 

So please join me by saluting the genius of Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates and all the other pioneers who truly transformed our way of life.

 

Thanks for a fantastic journey.
