Odd that right next to an ocean, the place has reputation for dirt. Attatched screens: I wonder how GWH would have thought of his home computers being used so commonly and constantly.

Odd that right next to an ocean, the place has reputation for dirt. Attatched screens: I wonder how GWH would have thought of his home computers being used so commonly and constantly.

Now I use it on the desk everyday, sometimes for hours to send pictures and typed text back and forth. I don't use the hand-held variety. Tried it once and nearly walked into a parked car, so no, not for me. The whole world's libraries at hand, and world wide friends right here in my room <that's> the best part.
I remember well my days of writing on an IBM Selectric. Laying typed pages out onto the floor, shuffling page order, cutting and pasting sheets. I knew I was getting somewhere ONLY by the number of wadded up balls of paper scattered on the floor around my desk. My little Apple 2E was such a gift!
