me too. I word-processed my thesis with Waterloo Script...including three 3-level indices - all command driven, when wysiwyg was little more than an idea! That was a huge improvement on using a typewriter, which was the norm then. And I remained ahead of most colleagues for about a decade. Then the extra benefits of new things coming along started to seem less obvious, then some new features started to be more trouble than they were worth, and so gradually I settled down with what I knew and liked, and got left behind. C'est la vie n'est pas?
I like having camera, phone and computer as distinct devices. Mobile phones [so-called; what we're talking about are hardly 'phones'] are amazing bits of kit, I just don't want one or need one. View attachment 2407391

Yes, I used to introduce computer technique at my former working space (where back then a telex was the most modern device) and was writing the programs using DOS.

But just as you pointed out so well: the rather not useful appliances provided by all kinds of uprising providers/suppliers got out of hand and really annoying, even more so as they were not compatible - on purpose!

I love your mug! Makes me want to get back to ceramics.

Thank you! Some plates and bowls sporting fried eggs go with it.

What kind of ceramics did you make? Show some pictures, please.

I love 'em

Come and get them, I will gladly give them away for free!

Seriously, it's a freaking phone - not a typewriter. I hate technology.

kids call mine the mom phone---flip about 10 years old--indestructible--no internet

So many have tried, none succeeded. LOL. IF they don't behave, I will brew French Vanilla coffee. LOL

Good morning, cafe! Thanks for the coffee, Sour.

Woke up to 4 fresh inches of snow. The roads were almost completely clear yesterday, not no-mo

I bought my current phone because the guy said it had the best camera available. I use it more for that than I do it's original purpose, but I don't much care for talking on the phone.

My favorite part of cell phones, is using voice to type. That way I don't wear out my fingers. LOL

I don't have any on this phone. But you can check out my album here on BYC.
