It holds the Guinness World record for best-selling single computer model of all time, so who had a Commodore 64? My family had one when I was growing up, and I enjoyed playing hours of games on it. I remember how novel it was that we could create a sign, card, or banner on the …

What does he do with the rest of the day? In hometown district all three middle-school grades take this class. The other …
Earlier this evening I was saying that I’m not much of a geek. Shortly after I wrote that post, I had 5 computers running in the house, and I was using all of them. Timeshare to be sure, but I was popping from one machine to the next just relaxing… Yes, I did say relaxing. …
Wow, three posts in one day! I’ve been working on a very old laptop (Compaq Armada), and installing Ubuntu Linux on it. This little machine has just been collecting dust for the past few months, patiently waiting for me to install a working operating system. With an old wireless card, I am now able to …
