I have played a couple of computer games. I mean, in addition to the ones long before most people here were born, I mean. But I'm pretty sure I couldn't play most games on this computer...I can't even see video. Or a lot of recipe sites, these days. Darn Flash players. My friends in high school were very early computer people. We programmed then with punch cards. By the time I got to college, some places had mainframes. Some of the mainframes were even networked, after a fashion, and to play games on them you had to get to a place that had one, and talk someone into letting you in, in the dead of night, to give directions to a keyboard, black and white monitor, and you had to allow for "drift" in the shoot 'em ups, because there was so much lag time. After PC's, you had to build them yourselves, Heathkit. I learn something new every day, maybe one day will be a fascination with WoW. That'll have to be after golf, though. I'm considering learning that. I like Twain's description of 'a long walk spoiled.'
