Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for April 04, 2012

all that money spent and a digital 2 way radio called a cell phone replaces it all

Same at my house.

It’s a man thing. More Power!

I don’t get it.

My wife got a KIndle and now we don’t talk! She even plays the damned thing at family get-togethers. At a birthday party Sunday and she sat and played solitare on the damned thing. I know, I know, signs of something deeper!

A plan is needed Arlo; get devious!

Fortunately, my wife is a Luddite. I, on the other hand, can lose myself doing foolish things on the computer – like commenting on comic strips. :-)

It’s a Post PC world. get used to it.

Arlo how would you feel if you had started with a mainframe that took up two floors of the engineering building and used punched cards? Nothing like IT to make you feel obsolete.

submit a help desk ticket.

Try sending silly messages from time to time. Works for me.

I think he’s commenting on the fact that Janis’ phone contains everything on his desk.

And portable too!

“You know you have been on the computer to long when you email the person that is in the same room with you!”

And now, google has a system that utilizes, Gasp, Morse Code, that Hams(Amateur Radio) Operators have used for years!!!

A smart phone will never replace a pc with a full keyboard, mouse, and most importantly, a nice big monitor that you can actually see without squinting. Decent gaming is not possible on some little mini device. To me, a smartphone is a major downgrade from a powerful full-size computer. There will always be a market for devices with a large viewing area.

I still talk to my wife and she to me, provided that we are in different parts of the house (as a minimum) and we are using a telephone connection and provided that the dog does not need her attention.

size don’t matter
