Old Enough To Remember?

[gunsmoker]

At my age I will occasionally roll a joint.

( it’s usually an ankle, and the last time it happened I tumbled down the last four steps of the staircase.)

... that seems a little cheesy...

 

[ST1100Y]

... yep...

It made me think, are you old enough to remember bicycle chains packed in wax paper?

Well, Nunjucks were also popular...

Remember this stuff from the 50’s and before.
Funny when you did it to someone else. Not so funny when done to you.

Well, having to crawl through the yellow glass wool used as thermal insulation in attics and dry-walls isn't much better...

As much as digital technology might have liberated creativity in post production...
Them bloody movies got darker every year...

There is no greater modern betrayal than a "quick" software update that completely changes the layout of an app you finally figured out how to use.

My laptop said I had a BIOS update and asked to do it now. Of course I said yes. It "bricked" the laptop.

And it is seldom quick ...

It took a month to get that laptop back.

The next day, the computer told me that I needed to install a BIOS update. Like a fool, I clicked "yes".

Six weeks later...

Indeed...
Like the Tecra in my den/home office...
used only seldomly now, I pop into there like every 2~3 months for some "quick task" like printing one page...
Right... after +2 hrs on sucking various updates, restarts and cleanup of temp files I finally have my document... every time...

And muscle memory is the worst...
They've changed/added one(!) tab in the supply and merchandise management program I've to build our offers/quotations in here at the office...
By now I must have unintentionally clicked/opened that dreaded tab about a thousand times... ARGHHHHH!!!

 

[ST1100Y]

... hold on lads, I got an idea...

 

[ST1100Y]

Yeah... getting there...
