Ok, this is not photo stuff but might be interesting.  Can you tell a little of your first intro to computers?  I don't mean the ones like Cray XT4 "Jaguar" supercomputer, ranked among the 10 fastest computers in the world and the single fastest available for open research. I am talking about the first one and where that went.

After my younger brother died in 1999, I inherited his office pc. This was a 256 Dell, upgraded it said! This meant added ram and that was all.  I got an AOL disc and got on the net. Soon, it was a nice and fast 56m USRobotics modem..in high cotton then!   The next was one built by a local company, fast 800hz and fast dial-up modem.  Then, the one I use now, built by a former coworker, ATM64/ Gigabyte based pc.  I had a lot more ram and enough speed. More ram was added later.

The second  one...after getting DSL and a new IP and working to get the AOL junk bugs off, worked fine and is still here even if not used.  The monitor is an old NEC CRT and one of these days I will go flat screen if I can afford a really good one. The old NEC renders color just like my prints and that is a good reason to keep it around for now.

Before 1999, I did not know how to turn on a computer, much less how to use one.  Of course, times have gone by and $$$ spent on software, cameras, all that stuff.

So, how did you get into this?                 TomDart.
