Ahh the good ‘ole days, such fond fond memories born in ’70, on the computer (not Internet) in ’78.

I do miss dads C64 and my Atari 400. When speaking of programming please don’t forget about *basic* and *machine language* from which most later languages sprung from

Great post!

@Otaku

Sure! Start with Day 1 – that will walk you through the entire process. Make you you have lots of opportunities for readers to both FIND your site…and then tell others about it.

Hope that helps, Barbara

I'm a baby boomer at 47 (one of the last) and a generation X'er if you want to call me that. While the post was tongue-in-cheek, it rings particularly true. Netscape 1.0 indeed. What a crappy browser that was! RT Cunningham's last blog post..Forced Downtime

Hi Barbara, And I thought you might be kidding, and stirring the pot. Haha. I'm a boomer, so I'll put myself in the same category as you. I'll be the first to admit I was clueless when I first starting blogging, but now....look out world. Great post Barbara! Barbara Swafford's last blog post..Those Are Fighting Words

I refute the allegation and confound the alligator. I'm a boomer and do just fine. Course, I've been in the game since before the internet existed. The university where I work was one of the original four nodes on the internet. In general, though, I think you're probably right.Most people are lost without a gui and computer literacy usually means simply being able to find your way around windoze.
