My first computer was an ALtos CP/M machine and I can only say “Thank you Bill Gates” from rescuing us from CP/M. The one person back then I knew who was expert on computers told me not to buy one of those MS-DOS computers because some kids created the operating system in a garage. The same fool got my wife’s office to go with MultiMate instead of WordStar or WordPerfect (this was in the days when Microsoft Word was simply awful). Just loved those 8 inch floppy disks, but at least it got me through law school. Can’t help but wonder if some computer museum would like the now 43 year old NEC Spinwriter printer with keyboard from my ol’ CP/M computer?
Funny comic, but medical insurance, including policies available under the ACA (aka Obamacare) do not include dental insurance. Nor do Medicare or Medicaid. Sadly, omission of dental care and most eye care constitutes a serious hole in our screwed up health insurance system (thank you GOP).
What a sweet tribune to a real dynamo, the late Newton Minow, a good friend of the late, great Congressman and Justice Abner Mikva, a mentor of mine from childhood. They were both giants in their respective fiedls.
Just hate this tipping before receiving service. Sure would be nice if these restuaruants, cafes, etc. paid a living wage and tipping could be eliminated.
What a day. Not only is this 1997 Doonesbury still timely and painfully accurate today, but today’s Bloom County from the great Berkeley Breatherd is also incredibly timely despite being from the mid-1980s. Alphonse Karr’s satirical assertion that the more things change, the more they seem the same, still holds all too true.
Thank you
