>>>>>puters are the future

this made me smile

reminded me of 1962 when I was a bout to "graduate" from high school

had not a clue what I was going to do

asked my Dad for some ideas

he said he had been reading about this new thing called a "computer" and thought it was a field that had a chance to grow
something like that famous line from the "Graduate"
"puters son, puters"

so i went and took a few programming courses at night school

too bad I left that business in '69

Dad has always been a smart guy, should have listened to him more

he's now 80 and for christmas my son got grandad a new computer to upgrade from his old 286

maybe we will be seeing him on the net soon
