I resemble so much of your history. And you are so right. Even back in the day when I had to write my own program on my old Apple computer just to do some simple calculations, address books, and spreadsheets, with the advancements in computer technology, I have less time to do all the things I used to do when I wrote the programs from scratch. I'd never thought about it that way! You are so right. Ah, the good old days - some things are better, but other things have been lost to time. Including time. Wow. Wow!

I started using WordStar and Super Calc when the Osborne first came out; prior to that time, I had only done data entry with a Basic program my LH wrote to run on our home brew computer. And, I still miss using those two programs, which I didn't stop until I migrated to my Mac a couple of years ago. Did you know that I Hate, Hate, Hate Word and especially Excel? Good old SuperCalc had small features that made (and make) it much easier to use, and I really don't need all those AF (advanced features) of Excel. Plus there's the fact I had all those commands built into my fingers after to many years... Oh, my, you have touched a sore spot.
