4. No everyone is free to spew their tripe. Some can just sink into the cesspool quicker

14. Thanks Make7
I've been here since a few days before the election. I was so glad to find this place! The fastest way to get info on what was happening nationwide. WOO HOO! I was really scared the dirty creeps would steal it away again.
DUers :yourock:
Of course now I'm hooked & can't escape! LOL!

9. My mother is 91. Just bought a new Acer w/19" monitor
to replace her 3-year-old Dell.

I get emails, attachments, photos, etc. daily.

Yeah, she can turn it on!!! (maybe not as well as my daughter who's a grad student, though)






:hi: matcom!! :loveya:

18. Good for your Mom. Thats my machine. On a related note.....


I went to multimedia/internet school when I was
48. The first day I had to ask them how to turn
on the machine. The first thing the instructor
told us to do is open our browsers so I pulled
down my pants. Ka Ching !!!!!

Not true but pretty close. If wasn't so good at
graphics because of my art degree they would have
thrown me out into the street the first day.

10. Yes
Adm Grace Hopper, the creator of computer programing language and the first complier, was in her late seventies and still telling the USN how to run its computers.

13. I just think that we should turn the internet into a big truck...
That way we can dump a bunch of stuff on it

It's so much more funny now that Ted won't be chairing the Commerce Committee anymore.
