After decades of fighting the latest windows upgrades, windows viruses, I decided, enough is enough. I’m a fruit company man. Give me my Mac. At least the thing works. However, still tied to Word and Excell.

In my world, Word with its built in WordBasic was the highlight of Windows. Give me a day or so, and I could make it really sing, make it solve problems and reduce tasks from days to virtually seconds.

One of my past employments had us doing next years contracts. We started in March. Everyone in the office struggled to get the contract forms done by the start of the fiscal year which was July 1. Those forms were several pages long and had all kinds of little items needing changing, hidden in and about all the legalese wording.

I wrote an applet inside Word that pulled up the form from the individual client’s folder, / subdirectory, opened the file, went to each item needing changes for the new year, gave me options and always one option was choose my own if what I needed was not listed. Took about five minutes to complete the form, printed it out and refied the form under a new name in the clients directory on my computer. No worries about errors, no long hand typing, no going back over and over again after the supervisions found missed items, just five and done. Get it in for review, get it signed (I always enjoyed being otu in the field rather than tied to the office) and done. Took me a week total and I had the second highest caseload in the entire office. Everyone struggled for months.

Now here is the sad part. I offered to install this app on everyone else’s computers. NO, that’s too hard. My wife, Brenda, who also worked in the office loved it. She bemoaned the day I left because I would no longer be available to write new apps or update old apps as the need arose. Everyone else, for all I know, they are still trying to get those contracts done. They started last month.

Days gone by. No longer coding. Its a use it or lose it and Its been so long and with no need to do so, my skills are gone. But in the ballsy days of the 80’s and 90’s when personal computers were a real novelty and writing something that ran quick on those 80286’s was a valuable skill. (the 80386 and 486 were much much better.) The old 8088, you fellows can’t beleive how slow those once state of the art PC’s were.

Funny thing, installing my compiler and editors on my 286 took something like two hours or more. When I installed it on my first 486 it took 17 minutes and ten of those seventeen were feeding discs into the computer. I use this little iPad a lot and its probably a million times faster than the 486. Still wrote some really good, commercial grade stuff on those old warhorses.

Never got into coding outside of dos in school. Started doing VersaCad on a 80286 back in the late ‘80’s. Boy my HP G-7 laptop running Autodesk Civil 3D runs circles around it now.

That was four minutes two seconds too long.

Wrote code on those old chips as well. Started slinging code in the early, early 80s. A MB of memory was a luxury back then.

Still prefer Linux of the three but Citrix is required for my current work and it had some limitations on Linux so I invested in a Mac rather than a Windoz POS.

To the point, Libre Office is an acceptable and free substitute for Werd and Exel that runs fine on Mac, just download it directly from libreoffice.org

I have a friend with two reproductions, to scale, in naval and infantry models with "coffee can" and "spiral" magazine systems - in 22LR. Unbelievable how fast you can go through a brick of ammo.

Man, that big one in the beginning wasnt backing off, he took the fight right to the cat.

Cat bit off more than he could chew.

But its affordable.

One thing the internet has taught me about Sabaton, is they're a lot like Led Zeppelin.
The worst thing about them is their fans.

I 3D printed a case for my Garmin. Much more compact than my Appalachian engineered version.

No, that's a proof mark with no relation to Jerry Miculek.

With an engine like that, the driver wouldn't need to brake check the kids to quiet them down.

That's been around since you were originally in diapers

I would think kids would want to ride on the bus if they were all like that.
